      Verdict

      This looks a shade easier than the race Modernism finished third in at Newmarket last weekend and he should figure. Jane Lachatte also claims if she lasts home racing over 1m4f for the first time and she makes more appeal than Hidden Justice. Keepax is another with something to prove over the trip though he'll appreciate the fast ground but the vote goes to EMERALD INVADER. He got off the mark at Kempton last time and David Elsworth's charge has plenty of scope for further improvement.
