        Verdict

        SUGAR BABY found one too good when sent off favourite here last month but drops down a grade for this and can open his account. Gorgeous General finished in front of both Muatadel and Joshua R when scoring over track and trip in November but has been beaten since while Stroxx has failed to build on an earlier neck defeat here. Elektronic slides further down the weights and is fitted with a visor still looking for his first success.
