    Verdict

    A disappointing turnout numerically in what is likely to prove a tactical affair. The globetrotting Red Verdon continues to ply his trade with credit at the age of eight, whereas Roberto Escobarr is hard to evaluate on only a fifth start in three seasons but is clearly open to progress. Ranch Hand stays further and may well set out to make all after a solid second in the Henry II Stakes last time. However, MAKAWEE receives a handy 8lb from the topweight and has proved competitive in a similar grade on both runs this season.
