        Verdict

        Roger Varian has only sent seven horses to this venue in the last five years and four of them have won. EBTKAAR will likely prove popular given he was placed at Leicester on his recent reappearance and should be sharper today. Lamloom sets the standard off a mark of 78 and has the beating of Born To Boom on these terms, though he was still well beaten when second here last time. Liquid Gold and Bolder Bob should both improve further with the former preferred.
