        Verdict

        Recent winners Gallantry and Blue Moon are both upped in class here and will need to find more while Tevez looks high enough in the handicap now. In contrast, She's A Character has slipped down to a tempting mark and could figure but the vote goes to MIAMI GATOR. Adopting his usual front-running tactics on his return from a break at Wolverhampton, Elaine Burke's charge found only the progressive Final Drive too good and will take the catching here with that run under his belt.
