      Verdict

      TWILIGHT PAYMENT won this last year then beat Latrobe in the Group 2 Curragh Cup before changing stables. He's run at the top level subsequently without being disgraced. Falcon Eight was beaten just under a length last year when receiving 3lb before landing a Listed race at Sandown over 2m. He should go well in Cup races this year while Emmet Mullins has acquired Group 2 winner Oriental Eagle from Germany and he's very much better than he showed on his first start for new connections at Lingfield in January. Trossachs completed a hat-trick of handicap victories last summer and continued to run well from much higher marks but Barbados, just beaten by Dashing Willoughby in the Queen's Vase at Ascot for Aidan O'Brien, has moved yards after finishing last in a premier handicap here in September.
