      Verdict

      DARK JEDI (NAP) was much better at York last week and is thrown in here on past form with trip and going are both ideal. De Vega's Warrior has been running better than form figures would suggest but is now 0-15 and Cool Party is also best watched along with Merveillo and Quian. Prince Alex is a former course and distance winner, however, and he attracted market support when having a first run for new connections at Goodwood.
