        Verdict

        El Duque had little chance up against higher-rated opposition in a seller at Lingfield but won over track and trip in November and has the beating of Anjuna Beach on collateral form. The veteran Mr Chocolate Drop won a race in April last year so cannot be easily written off after placing on his latest start but THELLO makes more appeal. The latter left his previous form behind to score at Southwell last time and Tony Hamilton keeps the winning partnership intact for this.
