      Verdict

      GOWANBUSTER arrives in the best form and bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having easily beaten Sound Of Iona last time. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but the latter has subsequently won at Ayr so the form looks solid enough. Royal Brave is another with something to find with the selection while Fashion Advice makes her handicap debut having won in soft going at Catterick. Militia placed at the latter track recently but is upped on class while the veteran Duke Of Firenze looks more favourably handicapped than Lomu.
