    Verdict

    Could Be King has done his winning in Sweden but was racing in much better company here a year ago and wasn't disgraced. Mutaraffa won a Listed contest over 5f here last January while Batwan completed a track and trip double at this time last year. BOOMSHALAA, three-times a winner for Roger Varian, started odds-on for last month's debut over 5f here but didn't find extra though he'll be better for the run and can gain compensation. Silent Speech scored on his debut here last January and was beaten a short-head on his next start while Godolphin also have chances with Open Mind, who made a winning track debut over 7f last month, and City Walk, whose two recent runs have been at Listed level.
