      Verdict

      Six of the eight runners have been successful previously over course and distance so this is a tricky puzzle to solve. Kakapuka is probably the pick of the weights but it's more than two years since he last raced over a trip this short. DREAMS OF GLORY had Dark Lane and Belle Bayardo behind when second to Shamahan over track and trip last month and, only a pound higher, is fancied to go one better with Salisbury second Annes Rocket more comfortable over 7f nowadays. Diamondhead was just beaten when favourite at Yarmouth last time and looks best of the rest.
