        Verdict

        Go Far never threatened when runner-up at Ffos Las but Seeking Magic was beaten only a head at Kempton recently and should confirm running with both Gentlemen and Sign of The Kodiac. Highland Acclaim has a shout despite a 4lb rise for scoring in this grade at Epsom but GULLIVER (NAP) is preferred. The latter was second in a Class 2 sprint at Ascot last month and Hugo Palmer’s charge should make a bold bid in this with a similar effort. Hakam was also placed at Ascot earlier but King Robert has to race off a higher mark back on the all-weather.
