      Verdict

      An interesting six-runner Classified Stakes race, with Tender taken to give Kieren Fallon another winner. Official ratings make this a close heat but the selection's fourth at Windsor last time reads very well in the context of this contest and she should not be far away. Ben Lomand has failed to progress this year after showing promise at two. Captain Hardy's wins have both come on the all-weather but his run behind Hey Presto at Salisbury last time, if repeated, gives him a shout. The bulk of Malahide Express's form has come on the all-weather, while Davids Mark and Moritat have a little to find on official ratings.
