      Verdict

      Cochise has been in good form at Nottingham and won over 1m6f earlier. But his best efforts have been on soft going so far and SOLAR SCREEN is preferred on this surface. The latter struggled in testing ground at Goodwood last time but went close at the same track before that and finished in front of Prince Imperial on both occasions. Cedar Cage has looked high enough in the weights over shorter trips and gets a change of headgear while Arabian King has done all his winning at Southwell and also steps up in distance along with Revolutionary Man.
