      Verdict

      Takeonefortheteam has more to do than at Kempton 10 days ago while Aegeus has been generally expensive to follow. Elusive Heights was no match for the well-backed Angel’s Whisper at Pontefract but the third has won since. ABSOLUTE DREAM has only won once so far but looked to have slipped to a fair mark when fourth at Newcastle and has been dropped a further 2lb since, though this will be his first try over a mile. Peruvian Summer is making his debut on Turf but Zephyrina remains unexposed and Sea Fox is thrown in on past form.
