      Verdict

      Duke Of Firenze faced a particularly stiff task at Goodwood from way out of the handicap though the veteran has framed off this mark recently at Wolverhampton. Million Reasons got the better of UBAHHA at Bath last time out but the latter was slowly away on that occasion and may be able to turn matters around on today’s revised terms. Maybe Tonight doesn’t look the easiest of rides but he hails from a shrewd stable so it would be folly to ignore any confidence that accompanies him into this assignment.
