      Verdict

      EURATO arrives in good form having landed a double with a victory over track and trip last time. Only 2lb higher, Steve Gollings' charge can confirm running with both Robben and Cantankerous. The latter pair were not beaten far but neither have won a race yet and Minstrels Gallery still looks high enough in the weights as he returns to the Flat. El Massivo won over hurdles at the start of the month and landed an amateurs’ race on the level at Ayr last year but Lacey's success over 2m here in October was his first since 2013.
