Verdict

Valmina ended a long losing run when popping up at a big price over C&D on Friday. He remains on a winning mark on his best form of a couple of years ago but HIGHLAND HARVEST makes more appeal today. He's only 2lb higher than when scoring here last month and went close again at Brighton on his latest start. Speak The Truth has solid claims on form but hasn't raced since April. The Name Is Frank has dropped to a tempting mark compared to his wins on the turf, however, and can't be dismissed.
