        Verdict

        Few who saw Red Lion thrash the in form Wait For The Will at Epsom in the Amateur Derby will want to oppose him. Further behind that day was Castleshane, who didn't have the best of runs there and takes on his rival on 6lb better terms for a six length beating. Lord Eurolink has several decent efforts, in better company than this to his name. He looks sure to run well, as does last years sixth Major Attraction. Kylkenny doesn't appear as good on turf as he is on the All-Weather and the same can be said of Summer Cherry, who seems to reserve his best for the Polytrack at Lingfield.
