        Verdict

        PERFECT FOCUS returns to novice company with every chance at the weights. He’s failed to threaten in handicaps but Lee Carter’s charge has the beating of Canzone, Mahale and Butcherofstockholm on these terms. Acrion is fitted with a tongue-tie and is a likely improver on the back of last month’s debut at Southwell while Footstepsintherye’s dam won on the all-weather.
