Verdict

EMPIRESTATEOFMIND has responded well to the fitting of blinkers of late, finishing third on the all-weather prior to last week's near miss off this mark at Beverley. He deserves to get his head in front and is taken to do just that. The in-form Mi Capricho should remain competitive following a 2 lb rise for his latest success at Hamilton and is second choice ahead of Boy In The Bar.
