        Verdict

        Fair Value was a well-beaten third in last year's renewal but can race off a lower mark today. Secret Missile landed a double in lower grade sprints last term and Monumental Man is not badly weighted on last year's best placed efforts. Sandfrankskipsgo has come up short at this level before but Piazon is capable of getting involved on his reappearance. LONG AWAITED (NAP) last won in 2012 over track and trip but it has taken this long to return to a winning mark. He went close when runner-up at Beverley a week ago and David Barron's charge looks capable of going one better in this.
