        Verdict

        Rio Real overcame a long absence to make a winning reappearance at Towcester in May so a break since then should not be a problem. However, followers of the "bounce" theory will undoubtedly abstain from backing him. The four-year-old, Egypt, is not the most consistent of performers and is probably best passed over, as is Rayware Boy, who may have been flattered by his recent second at Sedgefield. Tarski was not flattered at Worcester last month, or on a return to the flat subsequently, and he looks the one to beat.
