      Verdict

      Sacrosanctus may need more help from the handicapper and is closely matched with Restless Bay on their running here last month. Captain Dimitrios has been running well in claimers over 7f at this track and should appreciate this drop back in trip with the same comment applying to Eternal Youth, who has won over today's distance at Dundalk. DIAMOND CHARLIE pulled too hard and spoilt his chance at Goodwood when last seen on a racecourse in September. But Simon Dow's charge had shown good progress until then and will not have to find much improvement to take this on his return to action.
