      Verdict

      Estidhkaar, a dual Group 2 winner in his first season, hasn't done as well as expected this term but his close second in the Greenham would get him into contention. BOSSY GUEST (NAP) ran a brilliant race when fourth in the 2000 Guineas then found the 7f Jersey Stakes just too short. He would have finished closer that day but for an interrupted run and this should be within his capabilities. Tupi finished just behind him at Ascot and should again go close but Johnny Barnes didn't appear to enjoy fast ground on his return to action at Sandown where he was behind White Lake, who was having just his fourth start.
