      Verdict

      Richard Fahey has won three of the last six renewals but Khelman has failed to add to last year's three wins so far this season. Deauville Prince would have preferred faster ground and recent Newmarket winner Muir Lodge is another with something to prove on this surface. All ground comes alike to Kinglami but he's been raised a further 3lb for a placed effort at Goodwood so a chance is taken on the veteran REGAL PARADE. The latter scored in testing going last year, went close at Newmarket last week and looks up to landing this off his current mark.
