      Verdict

      Rated 85, Noble Peace sets the standard on his reappearance having finished runner-up on several occasions last year. He should have the measure of Menai on these terms though the latter has a modest effort at Newmarket under his belt. But BANISH makes most appeal as he just failed to catch the winner over track and trip on his recent debut and Hugo Palmer’s charge can come out best with normal progress. Semille Obon looks up against it but the newcomer Excel Quest can include the smart Rayeni among five winning siblings and is worth noting.
