      Verdict

      Niceofyoutotellme failed to figure in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot last time but won his maiden well enough before that and is not easily dismissed. The gaps didn't appear soon enough for ANGEL GABRIAL over C&D a fortnight ago but he flew home when getting a clear run and only just failed to catch Clon Brulee. He gets another chance here ahead of Tidal Way, who wears his owner's second colours and has been placed on his last couple of starts, while the unexposed Paddyfrommenlo is interesting stepping up in trip after an improved run at Newmarket last month. Cosmic Halo is another with scope for progress but Elkhart remains out of sorts.
