    Verdict

    A winner over 1m7f at Folkestone last September, MARCUS ANTONIUS produced his best effort since when finishing a close-up fourth at Goodwood last time. Jim Boyle's charge can race off the same mark here and looks to have a leading chance dropping down a grade. Royal Defence showed signs of a revival at Leicester recently and steps up in distance today, while Annelko is worth another try at this trip after winning over 1m6f at Ffos Las last month. Night Orbit could prove best of the remainder.
