      Verdict

      Another tough race to call here for punters and again the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Cabourg Grand Opera and Green Caliber and the vote is given to Cabourg. The selection was a good second behind Commentary last time out when he had pulled well clear of the third this looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to score. Grand Opera rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Darnelza but he has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Green Caliber is another worthy of respect on his staying on fourth behind Dubai Typhoon but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Of the remainder Jaad is a well bred type from a top yard but may just need the experience while Adage is clearly thought capable of better but for the winner we return to Cabourg who sets a fair standard.
