      Verdict

      Ispolini comes out best at the weights but seems to need further nowadays and the other Godolphin runner, Mountain Hunter, is preferred over today’s trip. EL MISK (NAP) was upped to this level on his reappearance and missed out by only a short-head when caught close home at Newmarket. He looks worth another chance with further progress likely given Trueshan could only manage fourth in Listed company on his comeback. Alignak needs to take a further step forward on these terms having only won a handicap at Newcastle though is still preferred to both Grace And Danger and Entangling.
