Verdict

SQUATS arrived here 12 months ago with four duck eggs next to his name in a seemingly uninspiring campaign but left that form behind to win. He has been in similarly moderate form this term too but it wouldn't be a major surprise if he sparked back into life here again and he's now off his lowest mark since his two-year-old days. Mystic Flight is a much respected rival for the shrewd Roger Varian. Stepping into handicaps for the first time he could easily prove well treated. Sea Fox and Rogue were both taking winners last time out and they are also considered in this highly competitive contest.
