        Verdict

        DIDDUMS gets the verdict in what should be a competitive affair, with Bobbie Soxer and Learo Dochais offered up as alternatives. The William Haggas-trained selection is better than the bare form of his previous turf run. He ran well in defeat at Wolverhampton last time, and is expected to do better now back on the grass. The going here should suit the three-year-old and he may not find better chances than this. Bobby Soxer has finished runner up at the last two attempts and we expect a similar result here today while Learo Dochais showed fair form on the first of his two starts last year and was easy to back on this reappearance and first run for his new stable last time. Better is expected here.
