        Verdict

        The winner of this race is usually a progressive sort and although a handful fit the right profile, Dunhill Star is taken to reverse Feilden Stakes form with Magistretti over this extra furlong and a half. The Danehill colt looked to be crying out for further last time and can maintain his progression from his in-form yard. Graikos represents last year's winning connections and is an obvious danger after finishing third in the Godolphin trials. But he is closely matched with Our Teddy, a winner over a mile at Doncaster earlier in the month, and ailed to stay the trip on his only previous try at the distance last season. Both have improvement to find if they are to figure. Helm Bank is the one who could spring a surprise and is one to watch in the betting.
