        Verdict

        Tonto's Spirit is penalised as he bids for a hat-trick and may have preferred some cut in the ground. The same comment also applies to Leicester runner-up Moon Over Rio so a chance is taken on SCHMOOZE, a dual course and distance winner now back on a winning mark. Thorntoun Care won a seller on the all-weather earlier but has just the one success in 16 attempts on Turf while Celtic Power remains resolutely out of form despite sliding further down the weights.
