        Verdict

        BE PREPARED has finally hit form after a tumble down the weights and won a higher grade contest at Epsom at the start of the month. The runner-up has won subsequently and he can go in again in this company. Zoukster’s bid for a hat-trick failed when finding one too good at Sandown but Wadi Bani will appreciate this return to 7f. The Spotlight Kid completed a double at Yarmouth last term but has struggled so far this season but Revisit may improve with a tongue-tie applied for this.
