      Verdict

      MORGAN'S BAY has now won twice over this course and distance after beating Barenger by five lengths 10 days ago. He probably had a bit more in the locker so could be capable of defying a penalty and should beat Arkaim, beaten 22 lengths over track and trip last time, off level weights. Bin End has been placed twice here over fences and won over hurdles in 2012 but needs more if he is land this, though holds Brassbound on the form book. Playing With Fire will surely need this.
