        Verdict

        SCARPETA (NAP) showed nothing in four all-weather starts last year, including two on this track, but has certainly made massive strides since stepping up to this trip on Turf and can complete a double initiated at Beverley. Free Bounty's best effort came on this track in November and he didn't appear to enjoy front-running on his reappearance at Doncaster. Coarse Cut did a bit better when stepped up in trip at Windsor but it's difficult to see Mystique Heights improving enough from three very poor runs in the autumn though the big step up in trip will be in his favour. Topalova looks best of a poor remaining bunch.
