      Verdict

      Vin D'Honneur won in this grade at Lingfield in March and is 5lb higher today while Mr Fox remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford earlier. Catch The Cuban finished runner-up at Salisbury recently and is preferred to Sadlers Beach while Irish Art steps up in trip for his debut on Turf. Ballet Red has a shout on his fourth in a higher grade at Chepstow but AZETS also drops in class. He posted a better effort at Goodwood last time and the handicapper has taken a chance dropping Amanda Perrett’s charge a further 2lb.
