      Verdict

      A winner at Ayr last month, HALCYON DAYS has been raised 4lb but this looks no tougher and Rebecca Menzies’ charge can go in again. Thankyou Very Much drops back down in distance after going close over 2m4f here and can figure but the remainder are all struggling for form. Baraboy finished a long way behind the selection last time and Alchimix was pulled-up at Ayr while stablemates Spoils Of War and Momkinzain make their chasing debuts.
