      Verdict

      Stresa was outclassed in the Sandringham at Ascot last time but the Haydock maiden winner will be more at home in this company. Bartack was beaten 11 lengths when odds-on favourtite at Brighton recently so the less-exposed Quest For More is preferred having opened his account at Windsor last month. AFRICAN OIL put a below-par effort behind him to score with something in hand at Bath on his latest start. Charlie Hills' charge gets the nod to follow up ahead of Dark Emerald, who has a shout dropping back down in class.
