        Verdict

        Several of these finished runner-up on their latest outings though Zaula was still well beaten at Bath and Starchant failed to threaten the winner at Windsor. Urban Highway was narrowly beaten over 6f here and has claims on that form but THEGREYVTRAIN is preferred. The latter just missed out in a higher grade at Bath earlier in the week and is taken to go one better with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Pink Iceburg is getting steadily closer and slips further down the weights on the back of a recent third here.
