        Verdict

        Mana D'Argent is back down to a fair mark (only 2lbs higher than his last winning mark). Three times a course winner here, twice over this trip, he clearly is better here than anywhere else. He has nothing to fear from Moon Emperor, who was 15 lengths behind him on soft ground here last month. A bigger threat could be Establishment, who has the beating of him on the form book as he is 11lbs better off for two and a half lengths beating. He will be tough to beat. Others to merit consideration include the mare Miss Fara and the consistent three-year-olds Hawkwind and Alrida.
