      Verdict

      This looks a good opportunity for HIGHLY REGAL who is taken to get the better of Hawaana and Sofia's Star. The selection has won his last four races, three of them at this venue and he showed that the handicapper has yet to get his measure when he beat Flores Sea comfortably at Southwell. He clearly loves it here and he should take plenty of beating. Hawaana was only narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time, but he had the run of the race that day and he was unable to capitalise on that so he could be one to have reservations about. Sofia's Star is a very capable performer on his day but the handicapper looks as though he has his measure at present and he is probably best watched. Millfield is better than he showed last time but he has been done no favours by the draw and for the winner we will stick with Highly Regal.
