      Verdict

      ROWAN TIGER is effectively racing off a mark a few lbs lower than when last scoring and after finally proving himself on turf last time out he should take all the beating in this handicap leaving Valdan and Norman The Great fighting for minor honours. A beaten favourite when missing out by a neck at Epsom on his last run the selection has a good record over this trip winning three from five efforts. He's up just a couple of lbs for that defeat and has a clear chance in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Valdan is running consistently well but was a well held third off this mark last time while Norman The Great should be seen to better effect with 3lbs off his back after his last run. Gandalf made a solid return to action and is only 1lb worse off than when last in front so if he can magic some improvement he'll have every chance but Rowan Tiger looks ready to win off a light looking mark.
