        Verdict

        Sixties Love was only beaten neck over 1m4f at Kempton last month. Bazooka will appreciate the return to a more realistic level after contesting a Group 3 last time while Strawberry Martini is also eased in grade. Percy Veer has already been placed over 2m so stamina is not an issue and he appeared to find 1m4f too sharp last time. The lack of a recent run for SEASIDE SIZZLER is an obvious concern but Bill Knight is more than capable of producing one ready after a break so the eight-year-old, a very decent stayer on his day and already a four-time winner on Polytrack, gets the nod.
