    Verdict

    Mister Completely, Leyte Gulf and Arabian Sun look the trio to focus on here, with Leyte Guly getting the vote. A winner at Wolverhampton in January, Mister Completely has come down the handicap recently, but he showed signs of a return to form with a sound effort last time. This is an open affair, and this all-weather winner can give a god account. A winner in France, Leyte Gulf has failed to add to his winning tally since, despite some sound races in defeat. He looked all over them winner last time, only to be caught close home. He remains on the same mark here and looks a threat to all. Arabian Sun lost his maiden tag last time at the seventeenth attempt in emphatic fashion and only six pounds higher will be fancied to win again. The form has been let down since however, and he has only run modestly on previous visits here so is taken on. Leyte Gulf may prove good enough.
