      Verdict

      Araifjan has done all his winning so far over further and won over 6f at Chelmsford last month. SAAHEQ makes more appeal as he won over the minimum trip at Lingfield before finishing second at Ascot . Royal Birth finished a long way behind the selection despite racing off a lower mark on Turf while Nibras Again failed to figure drawn high at Beverley last time but can do better in this and is preferred to May Remain.
