      Verdict

      It could pay to stick with TROLIUS in this given he’s won both starts in novice company and defied a penalty to score at Newcastle last time beating subsequent winner Ideological in the process. The latter re-opposes on worse terms after scoring at Kempton and Simon Crisford’s charge is taken to come out best once again. Felix The Poet won over track and trip before losing all chance when stumbling in a Group 3 contest at Newmarket. He could go well with normal luck in-running but Kilbarchan’s earlier wins came over 7f and Archies Lad was trounced by the selection last time.
