Verdict

LUCIUS AURELIUS can have his latest run ignored and might be worth chancing from what is a good mark based on his turf form last spring. Canaria Queen was runner-up twice off an identical rating last autumn and can go well if ready to roll on her reappearance. Get Up Everybody has fewer convictions than most of these and could also have a say on his first outing since a breathing operation.
