      Verdict

      Pure guesswork as to which of this bunch will return to form and it could pay to stick with GLENLUJI. He's up 4lb for scoring at Ayr last time but this is no tougher and he's taken to follow-up. Dubai Celebration and Carrie's Magic have both slipped down the weights and posted better efforts of late while Whatsofunny is one of the least exposed and may be capable of improvement. Keys Of Cyprus is a course winner and should finish closer back over a more suitable trip today after his well beaten fourth at Beverley.
