      Verdict

      Gingko may have been fattered by his run here last week, as the race was run at a crawl early on, while the Handicapper looks to have the measure of Holy Island. Showpiece is sure to take a hand in the finish, but preference is for Robandela, from the inform Mark Johnson's yard. He stays this trip well, handles fast ground and he can make the running if needed.
