      Verdict

      Donjuan Triumphant beat Laugh A Minute in this grade at Doncaster in November but is slightly worse off at the weights today. Cardsharp is race-fit but looks a little below the required standard. Hey Gaman was very highly tried as a three-year-old after finishing third in the Greenham, however, and Eqtidaar won the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Ascot last summer though this will be his first try beyond 6f. LARCHMONT LAD might be a bit of value having won a Group 2 at the Curragh last July. He also placed in a couple of Group 3 races and looks a useful acquisition for Joseph Tuite.
