        Verdict

        Velvet Heights should take plenty of stopping here and he is put forward as the one to beat, with Night of Joy and Arabian Ana. The selection hails from a leading yard and showed a significant level of improvement when winning well at Sandown last time in defeating Kharish. This colt is proven on the ground and if he can reproduce that latest effort then he should take plenty of beating. Night Of Joy relished the cut in the ground when beating Dash To The Top at Nottingham last time and this filly is entitled to plenty of respect as she still looks to be improving. Arabian Ana is stepped up in trip which should suit so this colt from the Bryan Smart should be interesting if there any signs of encouragement from the market. Kalmini is another that won well last time so can't be ruled out as she is stepped up in trip which will suit, but for the winner we will stick with Velvet Heights.
