        Verdict

        The thoroughly-exposed Story Writer drops back down into maiden company after making the frame once again at Kempton last time but connections will no doubt be dismayed to see three powerful yards in opposition. Phiz has proved disappointing so far but should stay the extra distance while Astorgs Galaxy showed a bit more when beaten six lengths at Pontefract last time. She also steps up in trip for this as does AL ARISH. The latter showed some promise when staying on well for third at Windsor on his debut so Lady Cecil's charge gets the vote with improvement expected.
