      Verdict

      There is little between these on official ratings though the three-year-old BAY BRIDGE is receiving weight from the rest. Sir Michael Stoute’s progressive handicapper looks worth a try at this level having won at York on his first outing since May and there looks more to come. Majestic Dawn came up short in a Group 3 before winning a handicap at Salisbury while Desert Encounter was no match for the winner when second in the Canadian International at Woodbine but this is more his level nowadays. French challenger Monty is harder to asses on a Listed success at Strasbourg while Tyson Fury was well beaten in Group 3 here last time.
