        Verdict

        May Sonic was winning over the minimum trip for the first time when successful at Southwell and has scored off higher marks in the past. The latter comment also applies to LORD RIDDIFORD, who placed in a higher grade sprint at Wolverhampton last time and is fancied to make a bold bid in this. Venturous is another favourably handicapped on his best form while Pockley usually goes well here and was narrowly beaten over track and trip recently. The Bell Conductor looks high enough in the weights while Emperor Spirit runs over today’s minimum trip for the first time on his debut for a new trainer.
