        Verdict

        On Fire won a maiden over 1m2f here last time and L'inganno Felice landed a double back in January but is now 11lb higher and has been beaten subsequently. Final returned a losing favourite at Chelmsford and attempts 1m4f for the first time so CODESHARE gets the nod to notch-up a hat-trick of course and distance wins despite a 4lb rise. The remainder are all struggling for form at present and are hard to fancy.
