        Verdict

        There has to be a doubt about Kepier at this trip and although he is open to improvement he may find this seven furlongs a little short of his best. Western Verse, Rajab and Tumbleweed Charm are also expected to progress but Millennium Dragon ran well on ground that will have been plenty fast enough for him last time and he can confidently be expected to put in a better effort on slightly softer ground. Frankie Dettori is also an eye-catching booking for the three-year-old.
