        Verdict

        Looks Could Kill gets our vote in the opener, with others to consider being Enforcer, Secret History and Moon Forest. Looks Could Kill's form is rock solid from his current mark, with his conqueror last time, Comic Strip, having won in Listed company subsequently. He should go well. Seeing that Enforcer is shortly due to go up six pounds following his Goodwood win, he must be afforded all due respect also. Give underfoot clearly suits him. Group Captain clearly has ability but is struggling to get his head in front. Secret History has improved for cut in the going and comes here in good heart. Moon Forest confirmed earlier promise when running out a comfortable winner at Warwick last time. He too looks set to go well but the others seem to need to fin improvement to feature so, for the winner, we return to Looks Could Kill.
