        Verdict

        Cahill was sent off favourite at Chepstow last time but came up short and VENTRILOQUIST is preferred. The latter also returned a losing favourite on his latest start at Sandown but is rated 90 and should have enough to take care of likely improver Voice Control. Nona Blu is expected to do better over this longer trip while Envisioning, a half-brother to five winners, makes more appeal than Ali Bin Nayef of the newcomers.
