        Verdict

        SEPAHI (NAP) has improved for a switch of yards and scored over track and trip before going in again at Wolverhampton. She won with plenty to spare last time and can defy a 6lb rise. The veteran Englishman has found a new lease of life this year and won at Newmarket last week for which he carries 4lb extra while Magicinthemaking was in fine form last season and will be better for a recent outing here. Big Lachie is usually thereabouts but hasn’t won on the all-weather for some time while Global Melody is best on the Fibresand at Southwell.
