    Verdict

    With a handicap mark of 80, EPIC VOYAGE should be winning one of these. But he gets only a tentative vote as he failed to take advantage of favourable terms on his reappearance at Southwell. Royal Connoisseur makes a quick return having gone close at Doncaster last Saturday and he should be thereabouts ahead of Bifocal, third in a seller at Musselburgh on his debut. Flaming Star is related to winning sprinters and is worth a second glance in the betting.
