        Verdict

        Reverberation has been thereabouts over a mile recently but attempts this longer trip for the first time. Arlecchino's Arc improved for the step up to 1m2f here on his latest start but FOUR FIFTY THREE makes more appeal. The latter won here last year and was having his first start since September when a close-up third at Lingfield three weeks ago. Mark Tompkins’ charge should be sharper for that and is also preferred to the likes of the Casima and Boniface, who make their handicap debuts today.
