      Verdict

      Epicure seems to handle any ground and is impossible to oppose as he bids for a four timer. He won with his head in his chest at Bangor last time and was value for about ten lengths at least. Absolute Majority blew up on his reappearance here and is probably capable of better. Garth Pool, a moderate sprinter on the level, was pulled up in the same race and seemed to hate it. Dance In Tune was a fair miler on the flat for Sir Mark Prescott but hasn't raced for over two years,
