      Verdict

      CILENTO continues to make good progress and scored at Ascot last month on his return to action. A couple of winners have come out of the race and John Gosden's Godolphin colt could prove the one to beat. Khalaas is also going the right way having got off the mark on his reappearance at Newcastle and Great Park ran well for third at Haydock considering he was upped 10lb for winning on the Rowley course here in October. Dagher was a disappointing favourite in a lower grade last time while Rembrandt and Tongue Twista may also struggle in this company.
