      Verdict

      Sputnik Planum returned to action with a win at Chelmsford last month but is upped in class off an 8lb higher mark. Andok went close on the all-weather in December and should be in the mix once again but FRONTISPIECE is preferred as he returns to action. A winner at Sandown last summer, he was runner-up in a more competitive race than this at Goodwood subsequently and a repeat effort should see him bang there at the finish. First Flight slips further down the weights as he looks to end a long losing run.
