        Verdict

        Arnarson has had plenty of chances but came up short again at Lingfield last time. Carpe Diem Lady went close in handicaps last season but hasn’t raced since October and BAHAR is preferred. The latter faded inside the final furlong at Chelmsford on his return to action but that should have brought him on and Frankie takes over the reins for this. Leader's Legacy made only a modest start at Sandown last year but the Godolphin colt may well improve past the likes of the more exposed Romanor.
