    Verdict

    Calivigny was third over track and trip before wins at Ayr and Sedgefield. He’s in top form so a hat-trick is a distinct possibility but TOTAL ASSETS has been plugging away in slightly better company and will be staying on in this when others have cried enough. Late Date usually reserves his best for Sedgefield but Misfits must have some sort of chance under a 7lb claimer and is preferred to an out-of-sorts Sandhurst Lad.
