      Verdict

      PJANOO won over a mile at Windsor last month but was beaten only a neck on a previous start over today’s longer trip and William Buick takes over the reins. The City's Phantom placed at Epsom between a couple of poor efforts while the remainder are all struggling for form though Evania drops down in class.
