    Verdict

    Plenty in with a chance in a competitive opener. Mishrif and Satwa Laird have claims on their best form, but haven't raced since October and Al Aqabah makes more appeal as she's only 2lb higher than her most recent victory. Ezra Church and City Legend have both been successful in plating company recently and could figure, though Wigram's Turn has been raised 6lb for last month's cosy win at Wolverhampton. LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND hit top form at this time last year when winning today's contest off a 7lb higher mark under Hayley Turner. A repeat looks on the cards and he gets the vote.
