        Verdict

        MICHAELS CHOICE looked an improved horse on his reappearance when winning with a bit to spare at Bath. He’s taken to confirm running with the runner-up May Remain despite the worse terms. Broadhaven Dream is upped in class having also scored at Bath while War Whisper is yet another arriving from Bath and could go well with headgear applied for the first time. Our Oystercatcher won here last year and went close at Windsor recently while Indian Raj drops down in trip having just missed out over 6f at Newmarket.
