      Verdict

      Charles St has yet to be out of the front four since landing a maiden in January but is still searching for a back-up win. The combination of first-time blinkers and Buick booked may well do the trick, especially as he's been nudged down slightly in the weights again. However, ELENA'S GIFT always looked in control when making all here this month and can take a 6lb rise for the win in her stride with the extra distance expected to suit. Her yard is very adept with steadily maturing types such as this daughter of Frankel. Mercian Hymn has been given more of a chance by the handicapper and appeals most of the older brigade here, although Hyanna is running solidly enough and wouldn't be too far behind him. After Eight and Zhang Fei may need to improve.
