        Verdict

        Gentleman Giles beat Mr Strutter with Champagne Queen further behind to win at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but the former pair were both well beaten next time. Little Nosegay was well ahead of Nuptials when fourth on her latest start but still finished behind runner-up IN THE SPOTLIGHT. Henry Spiller’s filly is edging closer to winning and it could be her turn today. Dashing Poet is also unexposed while Love And Be Loved was due to run in a claimer at Lingfield yesterday.
