        Verdict

        Spectral Star is preferred to Hawridge King and Sky Quest. Spectral Star looked to relish some aggressive tactics from the saddle at Leicester and while the poor conditions mean that one should not go overboard about the performance, there was enough there to suggest that he has plenty of resolution and that he can maintain form with Hawridge King. Stuart Kittow's charge has the visor on for the first time but he is making an unfortunate habit of going up the weights for placing rather than winning races. Sky Quest has not put his head infront for almost two years although he would have to be respected if the going remains as published at the 48 hour declaration stage. Ariodante won at Brighton under a fantastic ride from Ryan Moore and has shown form over further than this 1m 4f in the past. Banded Stakes graduate, Figaro's Quest will be in receipt of weight but has it to do in a race that is much tougher than his previous assignment at the track. Spectral Star looks to be on the upgrade and we shall stick with him on this occasion.
