      Verdict

      Resumption has returned a beaten favourite the last twice now and drops back down in distance along with FAMOUS STAR. The latter won over 1m4f at Lingfield last time having earlier placed over track and trip and the Crisfords’ filly is taken to show further progress. Greek Flame and Al Muhaajir are likely improvers having shown some ability over course and distance on their respective debuts while this extra test of stamina should suit Wabbal. She Got The Look is preferred to Obsidian Knight of the newcomers.
