      Verdict

      Spark Plug won a Listed race at Sandown earlier and went close at Windsor last time. He finished in front of Frankuus on both occasions but the forecast soft going is a worry for him though not for What About Carlo, who scored in this grade at Newbury during the summer. Billesdon Bess won over course and distance before landing a Listed contest at Salisbury and is preferred to Monarchs Glen and Born To Be Alive while the unbeaten Brittanic steps up in class and distance after scoring at Newcastle back in January. PROMISING RUN (NAP) also returns from an absence but she won a Group 2 at Meydan early this year before finishing behind Decorated Hero in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta. Saeed bin Suroor has won this four times in recent years and the Godolphin filly may well be good enough on her reappearance.
