    Verdict

    American trainer Wesley Ward won two of the juvenile races at Royal Ascot in 2009 and is preparing GENTLEMANS CODE for a crack at another. He's likely to be all the rage here after finishing runner-up on his debut on the dirt at Belmont with top American jockey Mike Smith taking over the reins. Gin Twist is unlikely to be good enough judged on her form to date, but stablemate Bear Behind is related to a winner and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Joe M.
