      Verdict

      MEN DON'T CRY was a bit unlucky at Pontefract last month when attempting to complete a hat-trick. Oisin Murphy, who was on board when he won at Brighton in June, is back in the saddle and the top weight can cut down Bath runner-up Secure Cloud here for a return to winning ways. The latter may face a battle for the lead with Sparkling Ice and it's difficult to have much faith in the remaining trio who were all tailed off last time.
