        Verdict

        Topclas was a bit in and out here last year but his best form puts him right in the picture and his stable is going well. Jutland is well up to this at his best but Thecornishcockney has done his winning over much further. Restraint Of Trade looked very promising when completing a double in the autumn of 2012 and his stablemate Genius Beast won the 2011 Classic Trial at Sandown though hasn't been seen since the St Leger of that year. Godolphin's EXCELLENT RESULT won a lucrative heritage handicap at Ascot in September and may have found the trip too short on his only subsequent start at York. He's handed the vote though Kieren Fallon has ridden his stable companion Handsome Man to victory in the UK so his booking catches the eye.
