      Verdict

      MASTER SINGER (NAP) won a maiden race here in May and landed his first handicap with last month’s victory at Wolverhampton. He’s upped 5lb but has the most scope of these along with Diodorus. The latter has changed yards having won a maiden for Aidan O’Brien over 1m2f at Dundalk and may prove the biggest threat given Rainbow Rebel has yet to win this year and Burcan returned a losing favourite in a claimer here last time. The remainder are struggling for form and even harder to fancy.
