      Verdict

      1m6f winner Postileo cannot be ruled out on his reappearance though several have a fitness advantage including Starczewski. But the latter is upped in class on the back of a double that included a course and distance success while Al Kout ran out of steam attempting to make all here last month. The latter finished in front of VIBRANCE (NAP) on that occasion but James Fanshawe’s mare managed to find trouble in-running despite the small field and is fancied to reverse the form and go close in this with a clear round. Prince Imperial won over 1m6f at Bath in October and is preferred to Sleeping Lion and Pretending.
