      Verdict

      Katara is top-rated here after completing a double last summer with an easy victory in a Newmarket Listed contest but she's been a well beaten last of four in her two subsequent runs. Queen Daenerys finished first past in a 1m6f Longchamp Listed race in September but was disqualified for a banned substance and hasn't run since. The more rain the better for URBAN ARTIST, who completed a hat-trick when successful on heavy ground at Newmarket in October. She's run well over 1m6f in both later starts and looks the one to beat. Connections of Golden Pass will be hoping the rain stays away as her three victories have been on quick ground while Irish raider Camphor has looked better over further.
