Verdict

ANTIPHON has slipped to an attractive mark and, having shaped as though he may be coming to hand at Windsor recently, he is taken to strike in a first-time visor. Silky Robin opened his account at Brighton last time and is feared, along with Ideal Guest. who was a good second over this C&D recently. Mrs Trump is another for the shortlist.
