        Verdict

        LEXINGTON PLACE looks the safest bet in this. He went close to landing a four-timer when third over track and trip last time and can reverse running with runner-up Gowanharry on better terms. Ambitious Icarus, Cruise Tothelimit and Something Lucky have plenty to find with the selection and Go Go Green looks a bigger threat having been beaten only a head at Musselburgh last time. Lover Man continues to slip down the weights and will be taking advantage before long.
