        Verdict

        The Listed highlight in which northern raider MR LUPTON makes most appeal. The Fahey gelding has not been disgraced when taking his chance at the apex of the sprinting pyramid and is equally at home in top level handicap sprints. He seems sure to give his running after delivering a trio of solid efforts in the current campaign, notably when landing a major handicap sprint at Newmarket and close-up third in Listed grade at Windsor latest. Dark Shot was desperately unlucky not to land the Epsom Dash last time and is well worth a dart in this grade after such a good run. Tropics will be all the better for his first run since the autumn of 2015 and Eqtiraan cannot be discounted despite tackling his elders. Spring Fling also has place claims in an open-looking race.
