      Verdict

      There is little between these on today’s terms but ARABIC CULTURE will find this much easier than recent tasks including when fifth behind the progressive Given Choice at Chelmsford last time. Zephyros is also dropped in class but hasn’t raced since May while The Groove has recorded his best form so far on Turf. Mr Red Clubs won here on his penultimate start and Roman De Brut could figure with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause.
