        Verdict

        Arabic Culture scored over track and trip on his penultimate start and went close again at Lingfield last time. But he’s now 8lb higher than when winning while Star Ascending has failed to figure in a couple of subsequent outings since successful here in January. Singing Sheriff has the more recent winning form with a victory at Kempton last time and can figure again raised only 2lb while Spiritual Man has been placed over 1m6f here the last twice now and is another to consider. But REDEMPTORIST (NAP) was beaten only a length at Chelmsford on his first start for Olly Murphy and is fancied to open his account with more to come from him now handicapping for the first time.
