      Verdict

      Kempton winner MUNTASIR takes on his elders having produced an even better effort to finish second at Sandown last time. He makes more appeal than Key Gold who is taking a big step up in class after scoring at Beverley on his latest start. Alsahil won with plenty in hand at Hamilton last time but may find today's ground on the fast side while Full Speed looks on a high enough mark having ended last season with a win at Newmarket. Dark Dune has solid claims as he had Arizona John behind when scoring over C&D in June.
