        Verdict

        A case can be made for several of these including Thataboy and Glastonberry, closely matched on their respective defeats at the hands of the progressive Varsovian. Dominium is 7lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in September while Desert Strike usually does his winning in lower grade sprints including last month's success at Kempton. Multitask scored over 7f here in February with SOARING SPIRITS back in fourth but the latter re-opposes on better terms and gets a speculative vote in an open affair having won twice over course and distance at the end of last year.
