        Verdict

        This looks to be another very competitive little heat despite a disappointing turn out for the money on offer. And Northside Lodge may just be able to turn the tables on Rule Britannia on these terms, with Wait For The Will and Brilliant Red also respected. However, the booking of Frankie Dettori indicates that the connections of Northside Lodge are anticipating a better show today and the five-year-old can put his 3lb turn-about at the weights to good use here under the former champion jockey. The current incumbent teams up with Corton, who is still open to improvement, but need to put a poor run from last time behind him to figure today. Quiet Storm is another that is still unexposed but has a stamina query against him at this trip so is passed over in favour of Northside Lodge for now.
