      Verdict

      Stephen Hero takes a break from jumping but has his first run for a new yard. Laughing Jack is struggling and Ring Eye was only third at Chepstow on Thursday off today's mark. But the grey Marengo has won his last two at Chepstow over this trip and should go well. BRANDON CASTLE may still be a maiden but has been placed in four of his six starts on Turf and this looks his chance to hit the bulls-eye as he gets 8lb from the filly Sweet Selection.
