      Verdict

      Istanbul and Keep Busy look to be facing a tough task against the older sprinters. Lahore has shown improved form in handicaps this year but it would be no surprise to see old rivals El Astronaute and TARBOOSH in the firing-line again. The former beat the latter half-a-length at Doncaster two runs ago but Paul Midgeley’s seven-year-old reversed the form at York and has the best of the weights today.
