      Verdict

      Both Sakhee's Pearl and Megalala scored over C&D last time and are upped in class today, while Sinfonico and DUNHOY have yet to race over today's longer trip. The former drops down a couple of grades and is back on a winning mark if Sean Levy's claim is included, so has plenty going for him if lasting home, but the latter looks the more likely to stay. Tony Newcome's charge is already a winner on the Polytrack and arrives on the back of a good effort at this track on his recent reappearance. Kakapuka is hard to fancy and Ya Hafed will need to improve on last year's win at Folkestone to figure.
