        Verdict

        SPARKLE IN HIS EYE found the potentially smart Set Piece too good over track and trip on a recent debut. But William Haggas' colt finished clear of the rest and will be fancied to go one better today. Mushaageb improved to place at Wolverhampton last time and had earlier finished in front of Dreams And Visions and Art Of Diplomacy while You Little Ripper looks a likely improver after a modest debut effort at Newmarket in October. Beresford and Elikapeka are newcomers to note representing top northern yards.
