    Verdict

    Connections of the three with experience will be desperate to chalk up an elusive first win for their respective charges but the newcomer LAST FIGHTER could deny them all. A brother to the useful Halicarnassus and related to another five winners, the Godolphin gelding won't need to be anything special to land this on his debut. Luca Cumani won this last year and Strada Facendo has decent claims of finally opening his account back in maiden company while Gold Edition flopped when a short price favourite at Redcar last week and will be looking to make amends. Santarini looks to have a bit to find, however, and is harder to fancy.
