      Verdict

      The Gosden yard won this last year and Bollihope has hinted at ability, though was well beaten in a handicap last time. Azyaan disappointed at Leicester after placing at Beverley on debut while Vereri Senes lacks a recent run. The nicely-bred Knight Of Wands wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start and is sure to have his supporters but EVERY INSTINCT shaped with promise when fourth at Newmarket and might appreciate the slightly longer trip - the booking of Ryan Moore is definitely a positive.
