      Verdict

      CREATIVE FORCE comes out best at the weights. He failed to win last year but raced exclusively at the highest level and went close in the Jubilee Stakes at Ascot when in front of Garrus. The latter and Jumby filled the places in last year’s renewal while Ehraz and Tiber Flow are closely matched on last season’s form in Listed company at Newbury. Dual Stewards’ Cup winner Commanche Falls was beaten by Fast Response at Doncaster in November but Clifford Lee prefers the latter’s stablemate Silky Wilkie today. Saint Lawrence struggled after placing in the Palace House here last term.
