    Verdict

    AQUA ARDENS (NAP) can usually be relied on to run his race and rattled-up a four-timer on the Turf earlier this year. He's preferred to Monsieur Chevalier, who won a claimer at Wolverhampton last week but this looks tougher. Trojan Rocket is a bigger threat on his recent win over 6f here but Doc Hay finished a only a length behind and is not easily dismissed on similar terms. Scottische has little chance at the weights and is overlooked.
