    Verdict

    Silvestre De Sousa is back from Dubai and takes over the reins on ARYAL. The latter has a couple of lengths to find with Villa Royale on latest running over 1m4f here but re-opposes on much better terms and is expected to stay the longer trip. Villa Royale is also attempting 2m for the first time but Arr' Kid won over today's distance at Southwell last month. However, the latter is upped in class off a harsh-looking 11lb higher mark today and Capellanus could prove a bigger threat returning to the Flat only 2lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh last summer.
