      Verdict

      A tough one to call with question marks hanging over all of these. Azzurra Du Caprio is the only recent winner but she has plenty to find at the weights on today's terms, while the older horses are all struggling to find their best form, though Palace Moon and Winker Watson are dropping down in grade after racing in Group company. Al Aasifh won a Listed event last summer but hasn't raced since October and his stable isn't exactly firing in the winners and the vote goes to NEW PLANET by default. He also won a Listed sprint last year and may find this easier having carried topweight in a couple of hot handicaps recently.
