    Verdict

    Wolverhampton winner Anniversarie is 6lb higher today but proven over the trip while the other leading contenders all step up in distance. That list includes HIDDEN REBEL, whose strong finish over a mile at Wetherby last time suggested this extra 2f will suit - Alistair Whillans' filly gets the nod. Red Unico was only beaten a head over a mile here on his penultimate start with Life Knowledge not far behind in third. They are both preferred to the handicap debutants Rustique and Tonto's Spirit - though the latter is worth noting given his yard has won two of the previous four renewals.
