      Verdict

      This rates a tricky little heat, especially with Emperor Spirit, who finished mid-division in the Britannia at Royal Ascot after going off very fast, dropping back to 6f from a mile. He hasn't tackled the trip before and may well outclass these rivals, but the choice is NOORBAN. The O'Meara filly is a sprinter pure and simple and is taken to make that experience tell here. A consistent performer, she can confirm the form of her York running with Mejthaam despite being 3lb worth off, although the latter is definitely a danger and a likely improver, whilst Desert Gulf and Alphonse Karr appear to need to improve on recent efforts against in-form rivals.
