        Verdict

        A winner on the Polytrack in April, Rondeau has every chance having gone close in a couple of starts since while Bassett Road is open to further improvement and has claims on his win at Haydock last month. Leadenhall Lass usually runs her race at this track, though that might not be good enough in this company, while Chilli Green and Elna Bright have claims if back to their best. SPACE STATION won this last year and is back for another crack. He's failed to figure in much better company recently, but this is more his level and Simon Dow's charge could start at tempting odds.
