      Verdict

      Both O Ma Lad and High Office ran well below par last time but have every chance if back to something like their best. Aleksandar is raised only 3lb for winning over 1m4f here last time and stablemate A Southside Boy is back on a winning mark. They both look safer bets than the disappointing Emirates Galloper while Snow Squall makes more appeal than stable companion and Polytrack winner Piton. DARK RULER has been competing in better company since winning at Doncaster in March and it's Alan Swinbank's charge that gets a tentative vote back at this level.
