        Verdict

        Questions to answer for a few of these but not Pemberley, a fair third on his reappearance at Fontwell. Waikiki Waves just got up over a slightly shorter trip at Leicester last month but may struggle off a 6lb higher mark. Mister Murchan has only had two runs over fences and done well in both so goes on the shortlist but His Dream is hard to catch right. Strong Resemblance may need this and all of the others were pulled up last time but quicker going was a legitimate excuse for THOMAS SHELBY at Warwick and Caroline Bailey’s charge has already shown a liking for this track.
