        Verdict

        A novice winner for Hugo Palmer, EMPLOYER (NAP) went close at Doncaster last month on his debut for new connections. Jim Goldie’s new charge can go one better in this and confirm running with Grandee in the process. Addis Ababa drops in class for his reappearance and is preferred to Zabeel Star, who remains 8lb higher than when scoring over a mile here over a year ago. Double Reflection won twice over today’s trip last season and should be winning again this year but Illustrissime’s earlier success at Wolverhampton came in a lower grade
