      Verdict

      Kitten's Dream won a lower-grade contest over track and trip last week but is penalised. Prince Abu completed a double earlier in the year, including a course and distance success, but was beaten by PHOENIX AQUILUS here before that. The latter has gone close again subsequently and may edge affairs once again. Smart Champion failed to score last year but is back on a winning mark on his reappearance.
