      Verdict

      PIAZON landed a course and distance double in December and has only found one too good in higher grade sprints here subsequently. He’s worth another chance back at this level and preferred to recent course winner Elusivity on these terms. Harwoods Star drops in class and distance for this but seems better over 6f nowadays but Archie Stevens found Dungannon, due to run in the previous race, too good in a seller here last time. Touch The Clouds is hard to fancy on these terms.
