      Verdict

      Chinese Spirit is 2lb lower than when scoring over a mile here in August and he should be approaching peak fitness now. Listen Again may also be coming to hand but RAFFLES REBEL was an eye-catcher at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and might be the one to be on if translating that form back to Turf. Decoding is probably the least exposed but is making his debut on this surface and ran poorly last time.
