          Verdict

          Redvers drops back in trip after going close over 7f at Ascot and Green Howard has been winning over longer distances. But Foxtrot Romeo went close at Wolverhampton when dropped back to 6f a fortnight ago while Tatlisu and Arctic Feeling look to have the best chance of Richard Fahey's seven runners. The latter beat Huntsmans Close at Epsom last month. Pat Smullen gets the leg-up on Lexington Abbey and the latter has a shout but stablemate BOGART is preferred. Kevin Ryan's sprinter has been competing in better company all year and beat all but the progressive Muthmir in the Portland at Doncaster last week. Mission Approved came up short when sent off favourite at the same track last time but Hitchens has slipped down the weights this year and could go well.
