      Verdict

      Bryan Smart's stable is in good form so Rhal is an obvious candidate here. Already runner-up twice at Southwell this month, this is the top weight's first try on the Polytrack though there's no reason why she should be unduly inconvenienced. Titan Diamond appears to have improved a little recently but showed little in two previous visits to this track so the vote goes to TORTEVAL. Second to Joe Le Taxi over 6f here a week ago, he wasn't beaten far over this trip at Lingfield previously and young rider Robbie Walsh is good value for his 7lb claim.
