        Verdict

        Masham Star was third in a Listed race at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and it would be no surprise to see him run well off top weight. Sharp Defence has been campaigned at Meydan over the winter so will lack nothing in fitness either. Last year’s winner Twin Appeal is 4lb lower and has been in good form on the all-weather. Imperial State is having a first run for Mick Easterby but LUALIWA’s run at Newcastle should have blown away a few cobwebs and Kevin Ryan’s charge has every chance here on his form last summer. Ower Fly could also run well from a good draw.
