      Verdict

      Trafficker is upped in class off a higher mark having won over track and trip three weeks ago. He will need to improve further while the likes of Lively Baron and Water Wagtail have both struggled for form since returning to action. Mission Complete has a shout on his earlier placed effort at Taunton but ULTIMATUM DU ROY is preferred only 4lb higher than when scoring at Huntingdon last month and Alex Hales' charge gets the vote.
