      Verdict

      Temple Road and Ask The Guru dead-heated for first over track and trip recently while there was little between third-placed Random Success and Brother Tiger over course and distance a fortnight ago with Gregori well beaten. Searchlight remains 5lb higher than his win here in November so the vote goes to TAAJUB. The latter has won two of the last three renewals and should be sharper for a recent comeback run over 6f here.
