      Verdict

      Canford Bay is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring over track and trip last month. The front-runner Acclaim The Nation came up short at this level last time having made all in a lower grade contest at Chelmsford before that but Royal Birth is effective at this level and finished in front of Watchable when runner-up in a conditions' race at Newcastle earlier. STREET PARADE will be sharper for a recent outing at Chelmsford having undergone wind surgery at the end of last season. A winner off a higher mark in this grade at Windsor last year, he may prove good enough today with Stuart Williams’ yard in such good form.
