      Verdict

      This will be a good test for LORD NORTH (NAP) but one he is expected to pass with flying colours. The Cambridgeshire winner was always pulling double in this grade at Newmarket when trying 1m2f for the first time and a 3lb penalty is unlikely to halt his progress. Pactolus has won on Turf but is a real all-weather specialist who seems a lot more consistent nowadays. Kuwait Currency is a useful miler but has had problems staying this trip but Caradoc is completely unexposed on this surface and appears to improve with every run.
