      Verdict

      Testa Rossa has been superbly placed to win ten of 62 starts and could hardly have been more impressive over the track and trip in January. However, a 10lb hike puts him on his highest-ever mark and MUTARAKEZ (NAP) may have his measure. Ruth Carr's charge was competing at a much higher level on Turf last summer and will have needed last month's comeback on this track. Arnarson was going away at the finish when successful over 7f at Chelmsford and he won easily on this surface at Wolverhampton earlier so has to be respected while Lost At Sea has performed with credit on this track the last twice and is on a handy mark.
