      Verdict

      Most of these drop in class with Spiritual Star and GAELIC SILVER sharing the same handicap rating. But the former has done all his winning so far over shorter trips so Gary Moore's charge is preferred having been beaten only a length over 1m2f when fourth at Lingfield last month. Monsieur Chevalier is weighted to get involved, though was not at his best last time and Quest Of Colour hasn’t raced since finishing fourth at Nottingham in September. Bushel saves his best for Southwell and Dominandros finished well behind the selection at Kempton in December.
