      Verdict

      Minnie Diva and Lone Star State look up against it but the remaining quartet all have claims. Red Orator won a maiden at Kempton on his racecourse debut in February but the form hasn't worked out, though Quixote finally opened his account at Lingfield last time and can figure if handling the Fibresand. Spartilla scored over a shorter trip here in December before landing a double at Kempton and should go close again but CAPE SAFARI is just preferred. The latter won his maiden over a mile at this track earlier this year and his breeding suggests there should be more to come over middle-distances. He gets the vote with Kieren Fallon taking over the reins.
