      Verdict

      Topcroft just edges it at the weights but, having disappointed on his sole outing last year, he now has a bit to prove on his return. Vosgarth has little chance on these terms and Moon Lightning has shown nothing for some time. April Fool has been below par since winning here back in November and last month's C&D winner Alpha Tauri is proving inconsistent. This can go to ARMY OF STARS, who won a similar contest at Lingfield recently. He was beaten by the narrowest of margins here before that and can confirm superiority with Elusive Warrior.
