        Verdict

        Fight Your Corner was a smart and progressive juvenile and landed an Ascot Listed contest in testing conditions last backend but was most disappointing in similar company on his return and it is possible that the prevailing fast ground is against him. Expected Bonus was rather fortunate to lift a minor event at Kempton last term and may struggle at this level while both Kayseri and Researched have plenty to find on form. Swing Wing was placed in Group 1 company last year and made a winning return at Epsom last month. Unpenalised for the success and sure to appreciate the step up in trip, Paul Cole's charge should give a good account.
