    Verdict

    GRETZKY has been in excellent form and gained his second recent victory when conceding 7lb to the in-form Carried three weeks ago. He faces a stiff task on official ratings but looks the one to be on. Ebazan once finished second to Declaration Of War when conceding weight, with tonight's rival Defining Year around five lengths behind. The latter had earlier finished a close second to Famous Name in a Group 3 but neither have come anywhere near that kind of form recently and both have been well beaten over hurdles. Shabra Charity was having his first start on the Flat after 55 runs over jumps when running surprisingly well behind Shield over 2m last month where he led at tonight's trip.
