        Verdict

        BLACK TRUFFLE got up close home over this trip on the Tapeta in April and is only a couple of pounds higher. Mark Usher's charge should be capable of following up against this bunch, who are largely out of sorts. The Reel Way was third at Brighton in April and is lightly raced while Bouncing Czech is eased in grade. Music Lover and Magic Round may be best of the rest but both are racing from out of the handicap.
