        Verdict

        West Drive is not the most reliable and was well beaten at Ripon last time having scored at Sandown before that. BERRAHRI also failed to figure at Ascot but that was in a tougher race than this over 2m. He’d won here before that and is taken to confirm running with Kajaki. St Mary's won over 2m at the track a fortnight ago with both Gabrial's Star and Gabrial's King behind but is upped 3lb but Nabhan and Plymouth Sound have both been beaten off today’s marks since winning at Ffos Las and Lingfield respectively.
