      Verdict

      UPAVON returned to form with an easy two-length victory over track and trip last time. He's upped 5lb but Ryan Moore's presence suggests another big run is expected. Trojan Rocket drops in class and could be in the mix having won a Class 2 contest over course and distance in January while Oriental Relation has also won here this year but is 4lb higher today. Run With Pride is upped in class on the back of a second here but Newmarket winner Regal Parade is back on a winning mark on his return to action.
