        Verdict

        Keswick is penalised for his victory at Lingfield in January of last year when trained by John Gosden. LONG JOHN SILVER also carries extra for his impressive success when odds-on at Wolverhampton and he looks the type to go on to better things. He gets the vote as though Fujaira Prince, a half-brother to Nichols Canyon, and other winners, made a very promising start at Windsor last summer the winner hasn't enhanced the form. Genetics didn't make the expected progress after scoring at Newbury in 2016 while dual bumper winner Cuckoo's Calling may get tapped for speed over this trip.
