        Verdict

        GEOLOGICAL scored over a mile in January and has run two fine races from this higher mark subsequently. This could well be his best trip and Donagh O'Connor's claim can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Poetic Choice was behind him last week and this trip looks on the short side but this is the optimum distance for Lily's Prince, though he's been running so well that he's 14lb higher than his victory in December. Shinko Princess makes her handicap debut after a fair run in a 6f maiden but this is much tougher, though she did have Cardigan Street behind and should confirm the form. Hyland Heather, a winner for Richard Fahey, has her first start for Johnny Feane and is by no means badly treated.
