      Verdict

      Al Baahy wasn't beaten far in his last two starts over 7f for Sir Michael Stoute and his pedigree suggests this should be a more suitable trip. Maguro probably didn't enjoy soft ground at Thirsk and is expected to do better as is Missed The Cut for his in-form yard after a reasonable debut at Newmarket a fortnight ago. ARAB CINDER is related to several winners and always looked more likely to do better in her second season so gets the nod.
