        Verdict

        OPUS MAXIMUS seems the one most likely to run his race and gets the nod on that basis. He's been in fine form of late, winning twice in similar company including a victory over a longer trip at this track last month. Stevie Gee won here in September but was never in contention at Windsor last time, while Faithful Ruler is having his first start since May on his return to the Polytrack. Apache Ridge has so far done all his winning over 6f and One Way Or Another and Intiqaal have been struggling in handicaps of late.
