        Verdict

        The first four home in a similar handicap over the track and trip a fortnight ago renew rivalry and any one of the quartet could take this. Fils Anges just held the fast-finishing KANAF that day with Mastermind, who had led in the straight, close behind in third and Dark Emerald, who didn't enjoy the run of the race, just behind in fourth. The runner-up is reunited with George Buckell, who scored on him here a year ago when he beat Mastermind a length, and his claim can make the difference. Jamesie won over a mile as a two-year-old but has spent his long and successful career sprinting while Banaadeer was only headed in the last stride when tackling 7f for the first time in January though Paul Hanagan prefers Mastermind this time.
