        Verdict

        AREEN made a successful debut at this meeting last year and competed at a very high level subsequently. She'll appreciate the drop in grade and new handler David O'Meara will have her spot-on. Easton Angel won her first two before just beaten in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. She ran very well on her next two starts but disappointed when odds-on at Ayr in September. Rah Rah was well behind her at Ascot but reappeared with a very good win at Wolverhampton and her latest effort is best ignored as she was impeded. Shadow Hunter has won here in the past and will be fit and ready after two recent runs while it's difficult to know what to make of the well-bred Exist, who made all for an easy victory in a Lingfield handicap.
