    Verdict

    Dirham Emirati has a first start for his upwardly mobile yard after being thought good enough to contest the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. He's lightly-raced and should have more to come. The Vegas Raider is running well but takes a two-grade rise in class, whilst Fandabidozi could hardly be more consistent and will surely run his race again. GEREMIA is another consistent performer and ran well against a progressive one of Sir Mark Prescott's last month, prior to which he'd hunted up Maketh Believeth in a close finish, with the winner franking the form by scoring subsequently. He's fairly treated and Dylan Hogan's 3lb claim may just make the difference here.
