      Verdict

      Sir Oliver won at Wolverhampton earlier but could only manage third back on Turf last time despite racing off a lower mark. Show Me A Sunset went close at Kempton recently and should figure once again but ARAIFJAN (NAP) makes more appeal. He faced a difficult task in a tougher sprint at Newmarket on his reappearance but won off today’s mark over track and trip in November and should be bang there at the finish. Spirit Of May also drops back down in class and is preferred to the returning Eagle Creek.
