        Verdict

        SPANISH STAR (NAP) would have won all three outings this season if not for being disqualified at Goodwood having passed the post first on his penultimate start. He scored easily at the latter track last time and Pat Chamings’ progressive sprinter is taken to defy a further rise in the weights. Roundabout Magic never threatened when third in last year’s renewal but Enthaar went close over track and trip earlier and makes a quick reappearance after disappointing at Newmarket during the week. Key To Power’s earlier win at Brighton came over 6f but Arzaak is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
