      Verdict

      Joint top weights Smoothtalkinrascal and Pick A Little drop in class as both look to take advantage of a tumble down the handicap. Pyla went close on fast ground at Yarmouth last time while Soaring Spirits won over 6f here on his latest start. But he was runner-up to HAWK MOTH over course and distance before that and the latter is fancied to confirm running in this to record his fifth success at the track. Malaysian Boleh won over track and trip in April and is effectively racing off the same mark if Callum Shepherd’s allowance is taken into account.
