Verdict

Surprise Picture, a winner at Kempton last year, made his reappearance over track and trip and was staying on nicely in the closing stages. Illustrator is making his Turf debut but has started favourite in two starts on the all-weather this year. Spirit Of Bermuda got upset in the stalls prior to finishing fourth at Newmarket two weeks ago and must go on the shortlist but a short break may have refreshed IBN ARABI, who looked to be crying out for a step up in trip last time at Lingfield. Crane, gelded since last seen, is also much respected along with another progressive type in Maison De York.
