        Verdict

        La Estrella was equal record-holder for most wins on the all-weather at one time but the veteran was well beaten over 2m here on his reappearance along with Virnon. Denmead is 7lb higher than when winning at Bath in September and Bibliotheca last raced in the same month when placed in an amateurs' race at the Curragh. BRIGADOON never threatened to catch the odds-on winner when second over track and trip in January but finished ahead of a subsequent winner and Mike Appleby’s charge could well go one better in this.
