          Verdict

          A difficult finale with a number of possibles but Summer Bounty ran a race full of promise last time and looks sure to give a good account. Frank Jordan's dual purpose performer had been a little below his best on the all-weather this winter but put up an improved show on his return to the turf last month when runner-up in a fair handicap at Leicester. Despite meeting trouble in running, the seven-year-old pulled clear of the remainder and this stiff ten furlongs should prove ideal. Kristensen looks handicapped up to his very best but has been in fair form and this represents a drop in grade so rates a danger while Polish Corridor is fairly treated on last year's course and distance win and will be sharper for last month's return. Dalblair ran as though something was amiss on his final start last term but was a consistent sort otherwise and shouldn't be far away if fit for his reappearance.
