      Verdict

      Course specialist TRAFALGAR SQUARE looks set to add to his impressive record here with his main rivals represented by Strabinios King and Everybody Knows. Still four pounds above his winning mark, on his penultimate start, the selection ran to form in defeat last time after a bad start and did really well to get as close has he did to finish in third place suggesting this mark is still a competitive one. The form from his back to back victories last month is rock solid and so are his claims on this race. Starbinios King has been notching up some decent results lately but is now in uncharted territory with his high looking mark. The form from his last two starts is not the strongest and he has finished behind the selection recently. Everybody Knows is also looking to overturn some form on the pick but is also at the top of his game at the moment. There's still room for improvement too with this one so he should be close. It's slightly harder to recommend the others in the race but even if we did Trafalgar Square looks best of the lot.
