    Verdict

    INVASIAN came good at Newbury last month and is taken to follow up at the expense of Majehar and Taikoo. The selection is five pounds higher in the weights since his latest success but we feel that will not be enough to stop him winning again. He had dropped to what looked like a winnable mark and if recapturing that form he ought to go very close once again. Majehar put one poor run at Lingfield behind him to score over course and distance last time out. He has a good strike rate of wins to his name over the past couple of years so he has to be respected once again. Taikoo returns to the track after a break. He won a nice race a Goodwood last summer and scored again on the all weather here back in December and if he recaptures his best form he would not be too far away come the business end of the race.
