        Verdict

        Elegant Light has moved from France where she scored twice on testing ground. SOLID STONE can take this as he made a successful reappearance at Newmarket last April and though he didn't win again he's 9lb higher due to a couple of fine runs over this track and trip. The Gill Brothers has had his last four runs on Polytrack, scoring twice and narrowly beaten at this level at Chelmsford in December. Wolverhampton winner Muraad , beaten a head in an Ascot handicap, wasn't right when last of eight on this track in July while Exec Chef made a decent comeback at Newmarket last week and has dropped to a winnable mark.
