        Verdict

        Han Solo Berger is a nine-times winner who goes well here while May Blossom is only up 3lb for scoring on soft ground at Nottingham. The three-year-old HARRY WITH STYLE scored on soft going at Bath and dead-heated at Yarmouth later. He wasn't disgraced in a better race than this here last week and can get back on the winning trail. Lilkian, an eleven-times winner on the all-weather, has been placed once in seven starts on Turf but Gustav Graves is on his lowest mark since scoring at Leicester in September.
