      Verdict

      AUMERLE bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories off a 4lb higher mark. Shaun Lycett's charge is just preferred to San Quentin, also chasing a treble after scoring in a lower grade contest here a fortnight ago. Dakota City and Artistic Flight won over shorter distances on their latest starts and both attempt 1m6f for the first time while Scrafton won over hurdles last year but still looks high enough in the weights in this code.
