        Verdict

        Dubai Hills beat Extraterrestrial by four lengths at Haydock last month but is 8lb higher now and this faster surface might not suit. Kingscroft showed a welcome return to form at Haydock and still looks well treated while Mac's Superstar is lightly raced but has yet to prove himself on Turf. Self Employed won over course and distance earlier this month but runner-up Tatting is weighted to get a lot closer today. BISHOP'S CASTLE didn't enjoy the run of the race at York last time but looks to be in good heart at present. He needs a strong pace over this trip but won't be far away if they go quickly enough.
