    Verdict

    STIFF UPPER LIP never got into the race at Epsom last time but his debut fifth at Salisbury is the best piece of form on offer. The Hannon colt gets the nod to open his account here with Richard Hughes on board for the first time. Neither Master Ming nor Velvetina threatened on their respective debuts at Sandown and Newbury but both should finish closer in this company with preference for the former. It's harder to fancy either Complexity or Xerxes, however, and they may be best watched for now.
