      Verdict

      Bartholomew Fair and Magic Dancer will need a big step up on last year's form to get involved, though the former has a string of fancy entries and the Cumani yard is in fine form. But CHRISTOPHERMARLOWE is the one to beat on his decisive victory in the Derby Trial at Epsom last month. Around 14/1 for the big one next month, he looks likely to arrive at Epsom unbeaten. Dundalk maiden winner Kilimanjaro is also owned by Coolmore and we will have a better idea of good he is after this but Red Tornado is the most exposed and was well beaten in testing ground on his reappearance.
