      Verdict

      Wilde Pastures is progressing well and bids for a hat-trick off a 9lb higher mark after his latest win at Wetherby with a subsequent winner back in third. He'll be difficult to beat but BOCCIANI may be good enough. Brian Ellison's charge was well beaten in testing ground in much better company at Warwick last time but had scored nicely at Musselburgh before that and this looks no tougher. Al Qeddaaf has ability but may be better for this first start since 2011 and Bene Lad makes more appeal as he beat previous winner Kealigolane over track and trip on his latest outing and has been raised only 4lb.
