      Verdict

      Valley of Rocks never threatened in a couple of starts over 7f last year while Evening Hill was still beaten over three lengths when runner-up at Kempton on his debut. Zulu finished only a modest fourth at Salisbury more recently but any of the above may improve enough to go close. However, a speculative vote goes to the Hannon newcomer SONNETIST, a half-brother to four winners and preferred to Queen Moon and Act Swiftly, especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
