      Verdict

      Eloso loved the fast ground at Brighton nine days ago when coming home clear and should make a bold bid to defy a 5lb penalty. Genesius has been in good form over this trip without quite getting there and might still be a couple of pounds high but CITY SPIRIT is up just 4lb for a much-improved run at Windsor where she looked to have a bit in hand. Harry Davies' claim reduces the extra to just 1lb and she can go in again. Greatness Awaits looks best of the remainder.
