    Verdict

    EL HABEEB was an odds-on chance when narrowly beaten at Chester last month but that's way ahead of anything shown by these rivals. Dark Island was an 80/1 chance when beaten a long way at Newmarket while Secluded was quickly tailed off at Kempton. Cadmus is well connected and will have come on markedly for his debut at Sandown.
