        Verdict

        A good competitive finale to the Brighton card can go to Head Boy, who is preferred over Russian Ruby, Princess Ismene and Nick's grey, who are all respected in their claims. The same sentiments apply to Regulated, who hails from a yard that have enjoyed a fruitful spell of late and cannot be confidently ruled out of a place at least. However, Head Boy, who is quite closely matched with Russian Ruby on their Lingfield form despite the revised terms, arrives here on a very lenient mark and can exploit the assessor's leniency if he is allowed to settle into his rhythm. The son of Forzando had too much of a finishing kick for his rivals at Lingfield last time and, with the likelihood of the race again being run to suit his come-from-behind style, he can make the most of a good opening at this level. A move Shinko Femme will be interesting for each way money.
