      Verdict

      The three-year-old First Order is bound to be popular with backers representing the in-form stable of Sir Mark Prescott but he faces no easy task against some experienced sprinters with Bishops Court fancied to get the better of Continent. The last mentioned has not won for the best part of two years but has not had much racing in that time and has ground conditions to suit. Narrow preference though is for Bishops Court, who is holding his form well at the age of 10 and is once again partnered by Frankie Dettori. First Order cannot be discounted lightly and has to be respected along with Mick Quinn's speedy Dragon Flyer, who may again be found wanting close home. Forever Phoenix looks the pick of the remainder in a race that is taken to go to Bishops Court.
