      Verdict

      TAPIS LIBRE and Joanna Mason bid to land this for the third time in succession and warmed-up nicely with a creditable fourth at York last time. He can confirm running on better terms with last year’ second Whinging Willie. The Otmoor Poet was beaten less than a length at Windsor last month and is preferred to recent Carlisle runner-up Regal Mirage while Camakasi makes more appeal than Ravenous on a third at Leicester last time. Long John Silver remains unexposed and could go well.
