Verdict

A long-established race at this meeting for 3-y-o newcomers and the market looks sure to provide plenty of clues. Preference is for PORTCULLIS who makes most appeal on pedigree for a yard with a good record in this. Godolphin's Crown Knott can't be ignored, while North Beach is another to note representing last year's winning trainer.
