        Verdict

        Ajax Tavern did well to score from a high draw at Lingfield at the end of last year and won’t be far away if taking to this surface. Newbolt’s victory also came on the all-weather and the pair have to give weight to some nicely-bred newcomers. The US-bred Dark Sceptre is out of a winning miler and could be worth an interest with the champion doing the steering but DANIEL DERONDA is a half-brother to three useful winners and gets the vote. Baashir is sprint bred but there is stamina on his dam’s side.
