      Verdict

      Carnaby Street, Lord Zenith and Musaafer look the main players here, with Carnaby Street taken to score and follow up last season's Group success. Lord Zenith landed his maiden in fine style, and then ran a solid race in a Group Two contest next time. Off the course since then, fitness has to be taken on trust. Musaafer looks a talented individual-he too took his maiden in fine style, before being outclassed in the Racing Post Trophy. He is taken on. Carnaby Street progressed remarkably last season, finishing up by taking the Horris Hill on his final start. He showed real tenacity that day, and Carnaby Street may prove too strong for his rivals.
