    Verdict

    TOMMY TAYLOR bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins and looks the one to beat. He dead-heated for first in an apprentice’s race last week and escapes a penalty as a consequence. Outrun The Storm has returned to the same mark as when scoring over 7f at York last summer while Sir Benedict slides further down the weights looking to end a long losing run but Athollblair Boy has plenty to find with the selection.
