      Verdict

      The conistent MARAJAA can be relied on to run his race and looks the one to beat in this. His latest close-up third is working out well as he separated a couple of subsequent winners and Willie Musson's charge has an easier opportunity today. Whitechapel scored here in December but is hard to catch right and has been well beaten since, while Mambo Spirit's recent wins have been over 6f and he was well beaten over C&D in between. Last Sovereign has the past form to figure and could prove best of the remainder having shown a bit more over track and trip last time.
