        Verdict

        Another modest contest made up of largely disappointing and exposed performers but Janoueix could prove the exception and earns the TEAMtalk verdict. Gerard Butler's charge has clearly had his problems and has not raced for over eight months but is worth chancing to repeat his effort when runner-up behind Movie King over 10f at Lingfield in February which would give him a leading chance here. Eternelle is one of the lesser lights amongst Sir Michael Stoute's inmates but enters calculations on placed efforts in turf maidens while Lazzaz has claims on early season all-weather form if fit following an absence.
