        Verdict

        With the stalls on the far side high numbers have a clear advantage. Drawn next to the rails, Scythian looks to have a big say in this. His maiden win at Windsor has been given a boost by the subsequent win of the runner-up that day Spinski, who went on to land a nursery at Newmarket off a mark of 70. Scythian, who runs here off a mark of 76, doesn't look overburdened and he has the useful claimer Ryan Moore taking a further 5lbs off his back. There are no shortage of dangers with the likes of Stagnite, Lord Of The Inn and Magic Piper in opposition, but the main threat could come from Romany Nights, who will appreciate this stiff five-furlongs.
