        Verdict

        Conquerant was narrowly denied over 1m2f at Leicester a week ago and Hesbaan went close at Ripon last time. But both have had plenty of chances and the less exposed ESTEBAN is preferred. He produced a decent debut effort at Haydock and, with this faster ground likely to suit Marco Botti's charge, he gets the nod ahead of Tercel. The latter looks another likely improver though the Newmarket maiden he finished seventh in hasn't worked out very well. Any strong support for the newcomer Arquimedes should be noted.
