        Verdict

        Bix has the best form of those with experience but that's not saying much as he was still beaten nearly six lengths at Folkestone last time. Poetic Verse and Beau Select may finish closer but one of the newcomers won't have to be anything special to come out best. Richard Hughes' presence on Choral Prince takes the eye and the half-brother to Achalas could go well but RUNNINGLIKETHEWIND is related to five winners including the useful Metaphoric and Chris Wall's charge gets the vote to score on his debut.
