      Verdict

      Rhombus and Nashville are finding life tough off their current marks while See And Be Seen may now be in the handicapper's grip having enjoyed a successful season so far. The Irish raider Money Spider is harder to assess and it's anybody's guess which Late Shipment will turn up having looked out of form until scoring by six lengths last time. PURPLE SPECTRUM looks a safer bet as he recorded an easy win stepped up to 1m6f at Sandown and this extra distance should be within his compass.
