      Verdict

      Lady Freyja makes a quick reappearance having finished third at Yarmouth on Thursday when starting favourite. Bernardo O'Reilly can be forgiven his run at Doncaster last week as he completely blew the start while Curious Fox won at Goodwood earlier this month and is still well treated on past form. Captain Colby, Mr Wagyu and Nick Vedder aren’t out of this but PARNASSIAN didn’t get the run of the race when just behind the latter at Ascot. He’s not won for a while but hasn’t run a bad race all season and deserves some reward for his efforts.
