      Verdict

      Last year's Chesham winner, Richard Pankhurst has missed several recent engagements but is not easily dismissed if finally taking his chance. But WINDFAST is preferred today despite finishing well beaten in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury last time given he remains unexposed having won at the same track on his reappearance. Dark Emerald also has claims on his second to Kodi Bear at Sandown three weeks ago while the three-year-old Make It Up could also get involved. Aktabantay has struggled since finishing fourth of five in the St James's Palace Stakes at Ascot and One More Word will need to step up on his recent form in handicaps to figure.
