    Verdict

    EMIRATES SKYWARDS managed to get beat when odds-on at Haydock in October but is rated 83 and is the one to beat in this if running anywhere near his mark. Havisham should go well having made a promising start at Kempton last month when beaten only a length and makes more appeal than the disappointing Galuppi. Katie Elder also showed some promise on her debut at Lingfield but followed that with a poor effort at Kempton and Bourbondi is even harder to fancy.
