        Verdict

        The Haggas yard has good strike-rate here and POST IMPRESSIONIST will likely prove a popular choice. He made a promising debut when second at Nottingham earlier in the month and looks the one to beat on that form. Western Stars never threatened at Newmarket recently but can finish closer in this but Aighear debuts under this code having finished second in a bumper last month. Judgment Call is preferred to stablemate Nazca but the newcomer Dubai Leader, a half-brother to several winners, may prove a bigger threat.
