        Verdict

        CAROUSEL set a merry gallop on her reappearance at Epsom and was only caught in the closing stages of the 1m1f event. She will take all the beating with a similar performance here and must get the vote. Sartingo looked a future winner when a close fourth at Redcar and should prove a threat but War Poet is taking a dramatic drop in trip after both starts to date have been over 1m4f. Self Employed ran well enough at Doncaster last summer to suggest he can win races though he may have to wait for a handicap.
