Verdict

Spice Fair has improved as he's stepped up in trip with both victories to date coming over two miles. He'll probably find this on the short side while Lombok has been beaten a distance on both recent starts over hurdles though he's won twice over today's trip on the Flat. Fast ground suits Trachonitis, who has won here in the past but this is probably a question of whether MISS BOUNTY lasts out the trip as she has been in excellent form over 1m2f on fast ground and still looks reasonably treated. Highly Regal has been hurdling without much promise but isn't badly in on his return to the level.
