      Verdict

      Frightened Rabbit ran well for second behind a useful sort here at the start of the month and is a pound lower. VALSE AU TAILLONS, the only one of these not to have won over course and distance, just qualifies for this but has a welter burden to shoulder. However, Kevin Brogan takes off 5lb and the eight-year-old might just prevail ahead of For Three, who returns from a break during which he had a wind operation, and the in-form pair Wor Verge and Evita Du Mesnil.
