        Verdict

        Gangway has won on Tapeta and Polytrack this year but is 0-7 on Turf. My Silent Song won over course and distance last September and was only beaten a length at Nottingham off this mark last month. Fiftyshadesaresdev just came up short in a better race than this at York recently, ahead of Bastille, but has been raised 5lb. Gelded since showing promise in his first season, VEE SIGHT is not highly tried on his handicap debut and fitness is unlikely to be an issue. Billyb is improving but has something to find with Autumn Festival on the form book.
