      Verdict

      Par Three's recent win came over 1m6f in Guernsey while it was firm going when Lady Knight opened her account over 2m1f at Bath last month. Lac Sacre is 5lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last year and Catterick winner Aaman has not raced since 2012. Toretto was well beaten over course and distance last month when MEDBURN CUTLER (NAP) finished second. The latter looks capable of landing this with a repeat of his third in soft ground at Newbury in October and Paul Henderson's charge gets the nod.
