Verdict

MIRSAALE won last year's Derby Trial here before running well in the big one. He showed something like that form when narrowly beaten by Gatewood at Goodwood a fortnight ago and is taken to confirm running with Kelinni and Blue Surf. Stomachion will no doubt prove popular stepping up in trip after scoring at Newmarket while Dare To Achieve has claims on his recent win in a Listed handicap at Hamilton. Cashpoint won the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar last time with Stepping Ahead behind while Miss Marjurie went close in this grade at Newmarket on her return and can also figure.
