        Verdict

        This is on the Turf track and five-times all-weather winner Rocket Power has only run once on grass. Mike De Kock's horses have been needing a run and Conclusion, a dual winner for Aidan O'Brien, doesn't have the best of draws and this looks too short for stable companion Bold Rex but Big Time hasn't been enjoying the Dirt surface since his victory over 6f here in March so is entitled to respect. Pillar Of Society scored over a mile on Dirt here in November having won twice on Turf for Richard Hannon though he has an outside berth but GEORGE VILLIERS will be better for his run a couple of weeks ago and is at the right end of the handicap so gets the nod in a tricky race. The latter's yard also runs Speedy Move and Above Normal, though both are better on Dirt
