      Verdict

      Gibside and Trojan Horse are both course and distance winners. Of that pair, the former has the best recent form and is receiving weight all round. Belle Of Annandale keeps threatening to get her head in front but Kalahari Prince failed to show improvement on his handicap debut at York. KING EAGLE was an eye-catcher over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time. By Frankel out of the Park Hill winner The Lark, he can only improve over this longer trip and is still unexposed.
