      Verdict

      Some of these are old rivals. Coulsty and Markaz have met four times with the score currently standing at 2-2 but SO BELOVED finished ahead of both in a Group 2 at Newmarket in the autumn and can confirm that running, despite making his seasonal reappearance. Danny Tudhope rides the six-year-old instead of stable companion Salateen. You're Fired steps out of handicap company as he bids for a third course victory but may just be found wanting. Kelinni won at Thirsk last month but quicker going is a concern over this trip. Absolutely So has every chance on last year's form, however, though hasn't raced for almost 11 months.
