        Verdict

        John Betjeman won over hurdles last month but has yet to score on the Flat in 19 previous attempts. ESTRELA STAR finished runner-up over 2m at Lingfield on his reappearance but has won over course and distance in the past and is taken to confirm latest running with Mindspin. Mint Julep has placed over a longer trip at Kempton while Yorktown won over 1m4f at the latter track in February but has yet to race over this far.
