        Verdict

        Light Heart returned a losing favourite over today’s trip at Musselburgh last time but should be thereabouts at the finish once again. EYELOOL failed to land the odds over 6f at Ripon in his latest start but improvement is expected over this extra distance and the Haggas charge gets the vote with the remainder with experience hard to recommend. Slade King is a half-brother to three winners and The Great Story is related at Pattern winners in Italy.
