      Verdict

      Yul Finegold landed a double on the all-weather earlier this year but has just the one win in 17 starts on Turf. Archipeligo is less exposed but is also without a win on Turf having scored twice at Wolverhampton at the turn of the year. LUCKY HENRY makes more appeal given he can race off a 3lb lower mark than when winning at Windsor last term and Clive Cox' charge will be sharper for last month's outing at the same track, his first since August. Corton Lad is also back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best form.
