        Verdict

        Accidental Agent finished runner-up in last year’s renewal but faces a tougher task this time and this is more of a test for the progressive handicapper Motakhayyel, who won the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket last month. Positive has been competing at the highest level since winning last year’s Solario at Sandown though has something to prove over a mile and headgear is applied today. A progressive three-year-old, DUKE OF HAZZARD (NAP) has yet to score this year but has placed in both the Summer Mile at Ascot and the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood so far this term and should now be spot on. Marie's Diamond, Beat Le Bon and Bless Him have all finished behind the selection while Regal Reality drops back down to a mile in first-time headgear in the hope of a revival.
