    Verdict

    Illuminative is easily dismissed and though Retreat Content is not badly treated at the weights, he does have a bit to find on recent form. Song To The Moon won a similar event at Yarmouth last month but was then beaten by a much lower rated rival when odds-on at Ripon. She doesn't look one to trust and a tentative vote goes to INTEGRIA. George Baker's charge landed a double here earlier this month and a chance is taken he can improve on his previous efforts over today's longer trip.
