      Verdict

      King's Gem and LAOISMAN have the edge in experience over their rivals but Sean Woods’ charge has much the best recent form on Turf. He can finally get his head in front where it matters today having finished ahead of Solray when only beaten a short-head by the long odds-on Primeval at Windsor. Seattle Time hasn’t run in more than a year but any market interest should be heeded.
