        Verdict

        LOPES DANCER is 5-23 around here and his last two victories have been on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton. He took a fierce tug on his latest start here but is now on his lowest-ever mark on his 50th start. Dual Turf winner Tommy R has never won on the all-weather though had the maiden Zumaaty behind over 1m2f here last time. Autonomy completed a hat-trick at this time a year ago but his two recent runs have been underwhelming and stable companion Leopolds Rock has run poorly since a decent effort over track and trip in October. Motarajja, a son of Frankel, has so far failed to live up to his pedigree while Myboymax, who was in double-winning form on Turf last summer, has failed to reach a place in five all-weather starts. Ghostly has yet to prove he stays this far.
