    Verdict

    Two-year-olds have a better record than three-year-olds in this conditions stakes and the juveniles can come out on top again via MADKHAL, who switches back to Turf from Tapeta but is getting 22lb from the hat-trick seeking Danzan, who hasn’t raced on Turf in more than a year. Windsor winner Sir Thomas Gresham still has plenty of scope and is preferred to Greek Kodiac of the others.
