        Verdict

        The most valuable race on the card has attracted a competitive field but Mystic Forest could provide the answer. Brian Meehan's charge proved disappointing at Lingfield last time but had previously notched a five-length win over course and distance and the runner-up has franked the form with a wide margin maiden victory on Monday. The son of Charnwood Forest is 6lb higher but is taken to bounce back to form on a surface that clearly suits. Sudden Flight is a model of consistency and is sure to make his presence felt once again if adopting his usual forcing tactics while Romil Star will appreciate the step up in trip judged on recent evidence. Christmas Truce was not seen to best advantage in a slowly-run affair last time and is capable of going close if fit after a near three-month absence while Reminiscent was below par last time but was a good winner over this trip at Wolverhampton previously and could make an impact having been freshened up with a break.
