        Verdict

        Cadeau D'Or returned a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and should do better back on this surface. Dancing Harry was well beaten at Newbury recently but drops down in class for this while Amazing Red won over 1m4f last month and has scored over today’s trip in the past. HIROSHIMA had little chance in Listed company at Nottingham on his return but this is more his level and, having won over 1m7f at Ayr last autumn, a chance is taken on John Ryan’s charge. Summeronsevenhills won over 1m6f at Bath last month though it was fast ground on that occasion.
