          Verdict

          Red Baron won this last year and has now won four times at the track. But he may not have been done any favours by the draw this year and is 7lb higher. Fast Track and Confessional filled the places 12 months ago and are back for more while See The Sun wasn't beaten far in eighth from a poor draw and Tim Easterby's five-year-old has been a reformed character this season, winning at Doncaster and York. Duke Of Firenze beat Thesme, Red Baron, Royal Birth, Desert Law and Fast Track at York last month and was then third in the Dash at Epsom. But KIMBERELLA finished a place in front of him last week and may have won had he not blown the start. David Nicholls' six-year-old has been most consistent since winning at Chester and looks the one to beat from stall17 if getting away on terms. Green Door is running better than his form figures would suggest and can grab a place on the podium.
