      Verdict

      Low-grade stuff but three of these were winners last time, though Rivas Rob Roy has not raced over this far before. Lexington Law is eased in grade but Redgrave has a poor strike-rate. Merweb’s victory at Kempton early last month came over 1m4f so this may be best left to AVORISK ET PERILS, who does seem to be back to his best and bids for a fourth course and distance victory. For Richard and Thunder Flash are having a first run of the campaign.
