          Verdict

          Duke Of Firenze finished third in last year’s renewal ahead of Kimberella, Desert Law and Robot Boy with Confessional well behind. But David Griffiths’ charge was beaten a neck by Caspian Prince in the Epsom Dash a fortnight ago with Line Of Reason, Move In Time and El Astronaute all further behind. Stepper Point is penalised for winning a lower grade sprint at Chelmsford while Mirza is having his first start since October. ORION’S BOW won five in a row for Dandy Nicholls’ last summer and should be spot on now after a couple of starts for Tim Easterby. An apprentice’s 3lb allowance is a bonus today and he can return to winning ways.
