        Verdict

        Paul Midgley has some top sprinters in his yard and two of them run here. The veteran Monsieur Joe is always capable of a big run at this level though FINAL VENTURE (NAP) looks the more likely winner. The five-year-old had a tremendous winter in Dubai, winning two lucrative handicaps, and returned to action with a fine effort in the Group 2 Temple Stakes here last month. Ornate has only won once but has mainly competed at a high level and should go well while the progressive Kyllang Rock only just failed to hold on at York when the ground was on the soft side. Henry De Bromhead has very few runners on the Flat and must have targeted this with the very lightly-raced Gorane, who has been showing terrific pace over 6f in Ireland.
