        Verdict

        Taopix won over 1m4f here recently and had earlier scored over track and trip when narrowly beating Roman De Brut. The latter went on to win at Wolverhampton earlier this month and had finished behind Bollihope here before that. Outlaw Torn went close at Wolverhampton just three days ago and won at the track in June while Zabeel Star has slipped back down the weights and showed up to better effect at Wolverhampton last time. But L’INGANNO FELICE is also back on a winning mark and Iain Jardine’s charge gets the vote having finished runner-up in a higher grade handicap over course and distance last time.
