        Verdict

        Epeius bids for a hat-trick of course wins though his earlier double came over 6f and he’s racing over the minimum trip for the first time. JAN VAN HOOF (NAP) ended a long losing run with a course and distance victory a fortnight ago and remains on a winning mark raised only 2lb. He’s taken to confirm running with Archimedes and go in again. Zapper Cass went close in a seller at the track recently but Katheefa is preferred on his earlier course third in this grade but One Boy returns to action 5lb higher than when scoring at Beverley in August.
