      Verdict

      Unison is 11lb higher as he bids for back-to-back victories in this and he has to give plenty of weight to his rivals. The mare Mystic Sky did better than expected in a Listed race at Wetherby 10 days ago while Don Bersy is fitted with a hood as Tom Symonds bids to eradicate the trait he showed when last seen. Distingo did well last season and Embole is only four so open to improvement but BANDITRY (NAP) is potentially well treated back over hurdles and fit from a decent campaign on the Flat in which he was placed three times - his natural speed will stand him in good stead around here.
