        Verdict

        Ninjago has been in the mix recently but has won just the once since 2015. Thello’s victory here last year came over a mile while both Musharrif and Secretinthepark have been placed over the minimum trip of late. Bahango won over 5f here last year and makes a belated seasonal debut but BIDDING WAR gets a token vote in a weak handicap. The latter is the least exposed of these and James Tate’s filly may come good in this after a better effort at Salisbury a fortnight ago.
