        Verdict

        Direct Times looks the pick of these on form but has a long absence to overcome and is entitled to need the run. Zac Brown has been in consistent form this season but the handicapper may now have his measure, comments which also apply to Kasbah. Fethiye Boy picked up his third win of the year at Bath but that was a weak contest and he will find this a lot tougher, while Tomily seems out of sorts, so preference is for QUEEN IN WAITING. She struggled to make an impact when held up off the pace at Chester last time, but this course should suit her better and she can continue the improvement she showed when winning a decent handicap at Newmarket last month. Shamshon has shown little this season but is running off a handy mark and has gone well here before.
