      Verdict

      All bar BURNT SUGAR ran in the trial for this last month. Richard Hannon's charge won the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes at Kempton in September from today's rival Maftool and though that was over 6f he's expected to do better over this trip. He'll have come on for his run here last week and is taken to repay each-way interest. Mubtaahij won the trial in very impressive fashion from stablemate Ajwad with Maftool third and the remainder behind. Christophe Soumillon sticks with the runner-up, who unlike the winner was returning from a long break. That could prove significant while Maftool, who started odds-on, looked more in need of the run than his South Africa-trained rivals and should get very much closer.
