      Verdict

      ALSHAN FAJER ticks all the boxes in this opener. He won a higher grade contest over track and trip a fortnight ago and has been raised only 3lb. Jamhoori won at Wolverhampton last time but this looks tougher while though Kings Bayonet scored over hurdles last month he hasn’t won on the Flat since 2014. Communicator looks a threat dropping in class for this but Gaelic Silver is upped in distance after going close in a claimer. Royal Marskell won at Southwell on his penultimate start but has done all his winning on the all-weather at the latter course so far.
