        Verdict

        Home Secretary and Born To Excel are out of the handicap but are in decent form and will be ridden by useful young jockeys. Westtower Boy was due to run in the 4.05 here yesterday and is in good enough form to be worth noting in both events. Solo Performer has won over the C&D but appears better over further these days unlike ELUSIVE RIDGE, who made all for a very impressive victory here last time and can complete a double despite a 7lb rise. Winning hurdler Pires hasn't had much experience on the surface but has generally competed at a higher level and must be considered for this, a remark that also applies to the classy Windsor Palace despite his long lay-off as most of his runs have been in pattern race company.
