        Verdict

        The versatile Whistling Dixie, who has shown dramatic improvement over hurdles of late including a fine Haydock third behind Intersky Falcon, looks well treated on his return to the Flat. The Forest Wind gelding can make the most of a straightforward opportunity and, on these terms, should prove too strong against decidedly weak opposition. Lapadar, a dual winner on the all-weather, has not proved as effective back on turf and is becoming disappointing including in headgear last time while One Domino is unpredictable and, even at his best, needs to find something on the book.
