    Verdict

    ORION EXPRESS was nicely supported when back to form with a vengeance at Taunton, travelling and quickening stylishly and a repeat of that form would make him the one to beat here. However, a danger lurks at the foot of the weights in Miss Miracle, much improved last time on her handicap debut. She still inhabits a very tempting mark and is only passed over as she has yet to attempt more than two and a half miles. Burnthill and Bollywood are consistent sorts whilst any money for Fresher Fishing, who has shown nothing to date, would need to be taken seriously in light of his talented connections.
