      Verdict

      Bonnie Prince Blue and Sloop Johnb were both engaged to run here yesterday but, with the former best over 6f and the latter best at Wolverhampton, SOOPACAL is preferred anyway. He was returning from a long lay-off when beaten a head by today's rival Colorus over C&D in December and, with a more recent run at Kempton under his belt, he can take his revenge on better terms. Gold Story is now dropped back in trip after finishing runner-up on his last five starts here over further.
