      Verdict

      Another tricky race on a competitive card, but preference is for the only three year old in the line-up Royal Storm. Amanda Perrett's colt has every chance on official figures and is open to serious improvement on this his first attempt at a mile. Pietro Siena looked a fair sort last term but cut little ice on his reappearance and with his stable still under a cloud is hard to recommend, but Tarboush should go well under Frankie Dettori having been given an ill-judged ride by an amateur rider last time. Adobe is a model of consistency and should be thereabouts whilst Inspector General would be a blot on the weights on old form but has thus far looked a light of former days.
