      Verdict

      Court Royale appears to have lost his way and a similar comment applies to Vorashann. NORTHERN BOUND, a course winner in May, has only run once since and is fancied to get the better of the four-year-olds Iron Heart, who ran poorly on the Flat last month following a break, and the returning Pawpaw.
