      Verdict

      Conry was well beaten in this last year and well behind stablemate Cashpoint when the latter won a seller at Goodwood last time. David O'Meara drops both of his runners in class with Al Khan preferred to the struggling Balducci while the Koukash-owned pair Gramercy and Energia Flavio are closely matched on today's terms. DON'T CALL ME finds life tough in decent handicaps nowadays but ran well in an All-Weather Championships race behind Grey Mirage in April and a similar effort would see Dandy Nicholls' charge go close in this company.
