      Verdict

      LETHAL FORCE looks head and shoulders above these and will be a short price to open his account today. Fourth-placed efforts in both the Coventry and Vintage Stakes last summer are testament to his ability and he won't have to run anywhere near that level to land this. Emperor Vespasian is best of today's rivals on official figures and a repeat of his third at Salisbury should see him finish ahead of Christopher Chua, Aurens and Chicarito. The Chocolatia makes her belated debut and is probably best watched on this occasion.
