      Verdict

      Big Tour will be all the better for his reappearance run for his in-form yard and has every chance judged on last season's progressive handicap form. Horsted Keynes and Sea Fox are solid but appear in the grip of the handicapper and Sans Souci Bay goes up in grade after coming back to form the last twice. Regulator generally seems to run to his mark but the return to front-running tactics worked the oracle with Rogue last time and he'll probably set out to do likewise here under the same apprentice. He is 5lb higher here though and HAKEEM (NAP) may have his measure. The Haggas gelding, expected to improve after just four starts on turf, posted a sound effort in a decent mile handicap at Haydock last time. He's worth trying at this furlong shorter trip and remains on a workable mark.
