      Verdict

      There is little between these at the weights though some are less exposed than others. That includes IBN MALIK, placed in Group races three times last season ending with a third to Gifted Master here in October. Charles Hills' charge is preferred to the more exposed pair Adventurous and Great Page though any of the remaining trio could get involved. The unbeaten Kachy steps up in trip on his reappearance having won the Molecomb over 5f at Goodwood in July while Irish 2000 Guineas entry Raucous was a well beaten third in the Mill Reef over 6f at Newbury when last in action and Ryan Moore has won on him before. Handicap winner Scrutineer was outmatched in Group 1 company in France in November but any further rain would be welcomed for him.
