      Verdict

      FESTIVE FARE beat a couple of subsequent winners when making a winning start at Lingfield last month. The Godolphin colt can go in again on the strength of that form. Prince Of Paris continued his good progress with another victory at Lingfield last time and is preferred to Biting Bullets, who has the beating of Gleaming Girl on recent collateral form. Caprior Bere is hard to fancy on his first start since September but Sharp Sailor could go well on his return to action having been narrowly beaten over track and trip on a couple of occasions last year.
