      Verdict

      Michaels Choice finished in front of Parisiac when third at Salisbury and can figure again. Porfin and Mohareb have proved best on the all-weather so far, however, while Speedacus was due to race at Chepstow yesterday. LIBRA TIGER has yet to win on Turf but scored off today’s mark at Kempton at the start of the year and may prove the one to side with partnered by a crack apprentice.
