        Verdict

        Diodorus, a winner at Wetherby in March, and French import Fleur Du Seuil would both have preferred more eased in the ground but there are possibilities about Punkawallah on this surface, though ESCAPABILITY has stronger form. Alan King’s gelding placed at Taunton and Fakenham last season and ran well enough on his return to action on the all-weather last month. Cotswold Prince has had wind surgery since last seen but is proving hard to place.
