    Verdict

    LUSTROUS LIGHT never threatened in the Group 2 King Edward V11 Stakes at Ascot last time but the Navan maiden winner should still have the measure of Cook Islands and Zalfana on these terms. The former failed to get involved in the Listed Dee Stakes at Chester and steps up in trip while the latter could only manage fifth in a valuable handicap at Down Royal last time and has a bit to find at the weights.
