        Verdict

        Fontainebleu winner Aristoxene lost no caste in defeat on his British debut behind King Revo at Wetherby and, with the softening ground likely to suit Guillaume Macaire's colt, he has to be respected but he faces stiff opposition in the shape of Emanic and Tusk, with the vote going to the last mentioned. Alan King's Emanic created a favourable impression when scoring at Warwick on his debut but was subsequently disappointing when only third behind the admittedly useful Lough Derg at the same venue. Sue Smith's consistent Flake split the pair on that occasion and has to be respected today, as does Oliver Sherwood's Mark Of Zorro, who is probably better than he has shown so far. Tusk, who had some useful form on the level for Mick Channon, stepped up on his debut effort over hurdles when getting up close home to land a Kempton novices' hurdles two weeks ago. With further improvement to come from this strapping gelding, who could prove to be a real Triumph contender, he gets the vote.
