        Verdict

        Rated 96, ACASTER MALBIS could only manage fourth on his reappearance at Nottingham last week. But he should be sharper for this and the shorter trip will suit. Hakam also returned a beaten favourite at Lingfield last month behind a horse rated 80 and has something to find on that evidence but Akeed Champion ran well in a York maiden in October and the 2000 Guineas entry is partnered by Ryan Moore for his reappearance. Newcomers to note include Depth Charge, a half-brother to former stablemate and Group 1 winner Soldier's Tale, while Gossiping can include another Group 1 winner in Ibn Khaldun among his winning relatives.
