      Verdict

      Billy Mill didn’t appear to handle Epsom earlier this month and is much better than that but we’re prepared to give another chance to SHUV H’PENNY KING, who found a softer surface against him at Doncaster when on a hat-trick. Sunset Bay is improving but has gone up 6lb since justifying favouritism at Newbury while Matamua is proving hard to win with. Mighty Power is preferred to Apres Dark of the others.
