      Verdict

      Local Bay and Brilliant Blue have chances but both were engaged in the same race here yesterday. Course regular RIVAS ROB ROY landed a hat-trick over track and trip before upped in class at Epsom and he gets the nod back at this track. Fieldsman also goes well here and can figure while Paco's Pride went close at Bath last time and is another to consider.
