      Verdict

      Maid Of Meft finished a well-beaten third over C&D recently with Dechiper a length behind and Valdan further back. All three will need to step up on that form here, but Light The City was regularly placed on the all-weather earlier this year and may do better back on turf. JEU DE ROSEAU began and ended last season with wins over hurdles, but won twice on the Flat in between including a C&D victory. Chris Grant's charge goes well fresh and is taken to make a winning return.
