      Verdict

      Ventura Flame won over track and trip before going close again back here. But SOUL SEEKER looks set for a return to winning ways having scored over track and trip in May. David O’Meara’s charge just missed out at Chester a week ago and can race off the same mark today. Sound Of Iona finished runner-up at Musselburgh recently and the veteran Economic Crisis was beaten only a nose at Ayr and both are preferred to Pearl Of Qatar.
