        Verdict

        A big field but few make any appeal. Roca Magica is the most recent winner having won a classified race over track and trip a fortnight ago but has been beaten in a handicap subsequently and a chance is taken on BOLD DECISION. The latter has something to prove over this far but was beaten only an neck over 7f at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and has more scope than most. There was little separating third-placed Cristal Pallas Cat and Sharp Operator at Lingfield last time and both are capable of getting involved once again.
