        Verdict

        Distiller is set to go up 3lbs in future handicaps after an improved display last time but may not be as effective under today's faster ground and preference is for Goose Green, who gets the vote ahead of Victory Spirit. The last mentioned got up close home to win his maiden over six furlongs last time and could be of interest stepping up to seven furlongs for the first time today but John Dunlop's colt may struggle to give weight away all round. Dee Jay Wells has shown signs of ability but remains a maiden, while stablemate Oakley Heffert would not appear to be that well treated for his debut in this grade. Suhayl Star is a consistent performer and should be thereabouts again but preference is for Goose Green, who has done little wrong under similar conditions in the past and is taken to resume winning ways.
