        Verdict

        Royal Marskell can race off the same mark as when landing this last year but AFONSO DE SOUSA has the better recent form. The latter was third over track and trip a fortnight ago, with Silver Quay and Aussie Andre well behind, and can come out best in this dropping down a grade. Mica Mika has been placed over shorter trips recently but still looks a shade high in the weights while Storm King’s recent second came at Southwell and he hasn’t won since 2014 now. Injun Sands hasn't raced since March last year so Ickymasho is preferred.
