        Verdict

        Nabhan wasn’t beaten far at Leicester last month but that was only a seller. BEAU GESTE was trapped wide over a trip too short on his reappearance at Brighton. He won off a higher mark at Wolverhampton last year and Sarah Bowen will give him every assistance from the saddle. Limelighter will be popular with Serena Brotherton doing the steering and Mrs Meader was clear of the rest when third at Yarmouth. Ruby Red Empress is preferred to Grandscape of the two who won their latest starts.
