        Verdict

        Galactic Spirit won over a mile at Wolverhampton in February and is penalised along with PHOTOGRAPHER. The latter scored over today’s trip at Chelmsford in November and is likely to prove popular on his return given the terrific form of the Gosden runners. El Ghazwani made a modest start when fourth at Newmarket last month but should finish closer today while Mount Ararat and Celestial Force are both related to winners over middle-distances and make most appeal of the newcomers.
