      Verdict

      Eton Forever won this for Roger Varian last year and ALJAMAAHEER is clear at the weights on his reappearance. He went close on last year's return to action and found only one too good over today's trip in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster in September. Intransigent is penalised for a Listed win on the all-weather in November so Coulsty makes more appeal having ended 2014 with a Group 3 win in France. The latter's stablemate Ninjago could also go well but Penitent has plenty to find with the selection and also finished behind Sirius Prospect in the Doncaster Mile last month. The remainder have a tough task on today's terms.
