      Verdict

      WEDDING DATE carries 6lb extra but won a Class 2 sprint at Newmarket last time and Richard Hannon’s filly should make another bold bid at this lower level. Superseded is also penalised but upped in class after scoring over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton and True Hero is preferred having finished ahead of Que Amoro when runner-up at Redcar last time. Almurr ended last season with a second at Nottingham but debuts for a new yard on his return having been recently gelded. Yolo Again beat the selection at Wolverhampton at the start of the year but hasn’t threatened since.
