      Verdict

      All of these step up in trip but none are easily dismissed. Arab Moon is the most exposed with three wins on the all-weather this year and is upped 6lb for his latest success while Maori Bob found one too good over 1m4f here last time. Solar Cross was also upped 6lb for scoring in a lower grade at Doncaster but Immortalised went close in a handicap on soft ground at Carlisle recently. Joshua Reynolds may well improve for this first start in a handicap but a speculative vote in a tight contest goes to CITY LIMITS. The latter should be sharper for his comeback run at Goodwood, is likely to appreciate the longer trip and Ryan Moore takes over the reins.
