        Verdict

        Maarek made light of tricky conditions to score at Newcastle two weeks ago and is much improved this season. He should confirm that form with Regal Parade but like Definightly, who had Mirza behind when winning the Sapphire Stakes over 5f at The Curragh, has an extra 4lb to carry here. SOUL was fourth in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot and is the one to beat at the weights here if reproducing that effort. That was only his second start in this country. Firebeam finished behind Morache Music at Ascot last August on his last try over this trip and is undoubtedly better over 7f.
