    Verdict

    Rainbow Gold has gone close the last twice and can race off the same mark as when beaten less than a length by Montaser at Haydock last Saturday. He's sure to be in the firing-line but may find one too good again in GRANDILOQUENT. The latter made a winning return to action at Kempton when stepped up to today's trip and Sir Michael Stoute's colt is fancied to show further progress here. Venegazzu and Ventura Spirit will do well to get involved on what they've shown so far.
