      Verdict

      Merweb was disappointing at Bath 12 days ago having won at that track in the spring. TRIBUNA UFFIZI had no problem switching back to Turf at Windsor 10 days ago and remains unexposed on this surface so can defy a penalty at the main expense of Lednikov, who has been racing over slightly longer trips. Thunder Flash is 0-8 on Turf while Owen Little was a disappointing favourite over 1m6f at Bath, though was struck into.
