        Verdict

        Roger Varian’s stable has yet to hit form so Ekhtiyaar may be best watched on his reappearance under top weight. Aeolus’ run behind Perfect Pasture at Doncaster in October was franked when the winner won a Listed race at the same track last month while Solar Flair has had a pipe-opener on Polytrack, though would have preferred quicker ground. Shanghai Glory has a touch of class and has every chance but EASTERN IMPACT comes to hand early and is a dual winner here. He was second over course and distance on his reappearance last year and is 5lb lower now. Swift Approval attracted support over this trip at Kempton but he’s better over 7f when allowed to dominate. Doncaster runner-up Shared Equity and Boy In The Bar are others with claims but Hyperfocus and Naggers were both disappointing on their return to action.
