        Verdict

        None of these inspire confidence and Val De Travers has switched yards since posting a better effort on his handicap debut. ALEHANDRO placed over track and trip without threatening the winner on his first outing for Harvey Bastiman and gets a token vote to show further improvement. Talktothewall may do better now handicapping while Stronsay won off a similar mark back in June and Gobolina and Earn Your Stripes slide further down the weights.
