        Verdict

        FRANCIS ALBERT was a long-standing maiden prior to his success at Wolverhampton in April. But that victory has clearly given his confidence a boost as he left previous turf form well behind when scoring over C&D eight days ago and could improve further to defy his penalty in this. Crimson Queen is also penalised for a recent C&D win but makes more appeal than Leicester third Pinball and Spic 'n Span. Greek Secret has run well in two of his three starts since returning from a break and looks the pick of the remainder.
