      Verdict

      As the highest rated in the field and with some solid form it's hard to look beyond HALICARNASSUS here so we won't and he should easily leave Slam and Just Lille in his wake. More used to racing well in listed and Group company the pick has been on form this winter taking a very valuable race in Dubai on good ground as well as a solid effort in the Winter Derby. Mick Channon has his string in good form at the moment and that should continue here. Slam also has some decent form in good races but no where near as impressive as the pick. He'll 12 lbs to find according to the official ratings and although he has form on fast ground he looks better in slightly softer conditions. Just Lille enjoys this trip and ground so should be around the prize money but will have to go some to beat Halicarnassus.
