        Verdict

        Absolute Utopia took this prize twelve months ago and in her present mood looks set to land the spoils again, with Our Destiny and Devote put forward as the main dangers. Frankie Dettori¿s mount comes here in great form having got the better of Itsonlyagame at Lingfield last time by a very wide margin, her second success on the all-weather this winter. She is obviously just as effective on the turf and looks set to go in again. Our Destiny has had a fine winter on the all-weather and if he can transfer that ability to the turf he will be a hard nut to crack. Devote is the dark horse in the line up having raced just once on the level almost three years ago. However he has been successful in this grade over the jumps recently and could figure in the finish. The rest of the field have little to recommend them so Absolute Utopia is a confident choice.
