        Verdict

        Unlike Polytrack specialists Brother Tiger and Strategic Heights, Wolverhampton winner Emjayem still has a bit of scope on Turf and looks sure to go well here. Angelito has place claims again but gets no respite from the handicapper while Head Space has been a bit out of sorts lately. Tyfos has a chance on his early-season form but MONUMENTAL MAN is back on a winning mark and has a good chance of reversing recent running with a few of these on today's terms under 5lb claimer Daniel Muscutt.
