      Verdict

      Covert Mission won on soft ground last month but is 8lb higher back on the all-weather while Crack Regiment has placed over 7f the last twice. Beautiful Crown has recorded both wins so far over 1m2f while George Morland drops back down in distance after placing at Yarmouth. But NASIM finished runner-up at Kempton when last seen over today’s trip and is fancied to go close racing off a lower mark today.
