        Verdict

        Those that have had a race this year have shown nothing so far and it could pay to concentrate on the four making their seasonal reappearance. Face East was beaten out of sight in two starts last year and is easily dismissed, but Louis The Pious was fourth behind subsequent Listed winner Earl Of Leitrim in September and could figure. Diablo Dancer ran well when third on his debut nearly a year ago but ROYAL LIAISON is preferred. Her second at Haydock in July to future Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes winner Electric Waves is the best form on offer and Michael Bell's filly gets the vote.
