        Verdict

        Always Resolute returned a shock 50/1 winner at Haydock last month and takes on an extra 4f here. In Vino Veritas and Testa Rossa also step up in distance having finished second on their latest starts but Sergeant Pink scored over 1m6f at Newcastle before a couple of recent outings over jumps. A Southside Boy won over track and trip in April and has leading claims off a 3lb lower mark but BAYAN KASIRGA has Jack Garrity's 5lb claim helping her cause. She won over today's distance at Chester last month and the Fahey filly can go in again.
