      Verdict

      DEVIL’S BRIDGE looks to have strong claims on his placed efforts to date that have earned him a mark of 89 - he should be winning this if running up to his usual level. Navarone was expected to show more improvement than he did when third again at Epsom last time while Thomas Cranmer went backwards at Chelmsford when beaten over seven lengths. Roaring Character represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to Albizu Campos.
