        Verdict

        Bachelor drops further down the weights but has yet to threaten for Joseph O’Brien and Surfa Rosa has been raised 8lb for winning over 7f at Wolverhampton. The latter’s stablemate Metkaif makes his handicap debut and Sharp Reminder has gone up 4lb for finishing third at Newcastle. Corazon Espinado and Reverberation were both placed over a shorter trip last time while DREAM MOUNT (NAP) finished a close-up fifth over a mile at Lingfield 10 days ago. Dropping down in class today, he’s Frankie Dettori’s only ride of the meeting and may well prove a winning one.
