        Verdict

        Smileswithhiseyes never figured in a competitive conditions race at Sandown back in April but has claims back in handicap company. RHOMBUS ran well on his reappearance over 1m4f at Newmarket on his reappearance and first start for a new yard. He scored over today's trip at Haydock for Willie Haggas last term and can return to winning ways in this. Hidden Link finished ahead of Gambolling Den when third at Bath last time and this longer trip is no problem while Breccbennach looks to have made a quick recovery having been pulled-up at Newbury last week.
