      Verdict

      NATURAL PATH makes most appeal despite debuting on the all-weather as Michael Bell’s charge was placed in a tougher handicap at Newmarket a fortnight ago. Dutch Decoy also drops in class after a decent effort at Goodwood, though needs to reverse earlier running here with Blue Flame. The latter can figure again while Tomouh should be sharper for a recent comeback run and State Occasion drops down in trip.
