      Verdict

      Space Age scored over track and trip last month but has an 8lb hike to contend with and the likes of KING BOLETE, Dartmouth and Neymar will be hoping to reverse running on better terms. Luca Cumani's colt makes most appeal of the latter trio having been stuck on the inside for much of the way last time and should be able to take up a better position in this smaller field. Havisham ran well over 2m in the Queen's Vase at Ascot and could be thereabouts but the remainder step up in class including recent Haydock winner Polarisation.
