      Verdict

      There's little between Illustrious Forest and Royal Alcor on their running here three weeks ago when the former came out best by less than a length. Both should be in the shake-up here as fifth-placed Honourable Knight has won at Kempton since and he too could be in the firing-line. However, BOA makes most appeal as she ran well in a higher grade handicap last time and won over C&D last month off only a 1lb higher mark than today's. Country Road has the past form to figure if back to his best on his third start after a lay-off.
