        Verdict

        London Grammar beat Masquerade Bling a neck with Metronomic not far away in third when scoring at over track and trip last time. That trio are hard to separate and preference is for IVOR’S MAGIC. The latter won at Newmarket last year but has slipped down the weights since and David Elsworth’s charge drops down grade on the back of a fourth at Lingfield. Epsom Secret posted an improved effort on her reappearance when third over course and distance and can figure with any further progress.
