        Verdict

        Here's Two won over this trip on good ground at Lingfield before just failing to hold Bluff Crag over an extra furlong at Newbury. He's now 5lb higher in this better class event but should still give a good account. Realize was in superb form on Polytrack over the winter winning three times at Class 2 level. His form on Turf bears no resemblance which is why he's on a 15lb lower mark. Outer Space hasn't been running as badly as his form figures suggest and is the only one of these with a course victory to his credit. Fast Dancer has run very well in handicaps at Epsom recently though this is a slight step-up in class but HALEY BOP won a tough Musselburgh handicap at this level last month and though beaten twice subsequently is taken to return to winning ways.
