      Verdict

      Arizona John has every chance back at this level having found Dolphin Rock too good over track and trip last time. But Lexington Bay still looks a shade high in the weights and Galactic Heroine finished tailed off at Goodwood last time albeit in better company than this. Next Stop is 13lb higher than her win at Kempton earlier in the year but fellow three-year-old KNIFE POINT is less exposed and gets the nod representing Hugo Palmer's in-form yard after winning a maiden at Catterick last month.
