      Verdict

      None of these have raced over this far before with the exception of Doncaster winner Magic Circle and he failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time. Rosenbaum had the measure of Captain Navarre when winning at Wolverhampton earlier but was a well beaten second last time and can race off a lower mark back on Turf. Both Fibre Optic and Covenant step up from 1m2f with the former looking the more progressive but EUROPA is preferred. She won her maiden over 1m4f at Pontefract last month and looks certain to improve further over this extra distance.
