      Verdict

      The betting may provide some clues in this. Baileys Derbyday placed over a shorter trip last year and returns to action along with the two Hannon runners Night Of Dreams and Vitruve. But Godolphin are represented by three newcomers including the gelding Al Nefud and a couple from John Gosden’s yard. Of the latter pair, POLLING DAY is a 625,000gns purchase and half-brother to a winner with jockey bookings suggesting the Derby entry is preferred to stablemate Marshall Plan.
