        Verdict

        The consistent SALEH has been placed in both starts since winning here in January and Lee Carter’s charge should be bang there at the finish once again. Varsovian has won seven times on the all-weather but all of those wins came over 6f and Highly Sprung is another yet to win over today’s distance. Until Midnight still looks high enough in the weights but Black Bess has a chance off her current mark as she returns to action and is preferred of the remainder.
