        Verdict

        THE TIGER is the least exposed in the field and may come out best. He won his maiden in soft going and looks set to land his first handicap having finished a close-up fourth at Newmarket last month. Maybeagrey could figure if forgiven her latest poor effort at York while Follow The Flag remains capable at this level and arrives in fine form. West End Lad has slipped down to a tempting mark but Hakuna Matata has a bit to prove over today's longer trip and so does Satanic Beat. Allied Answer has the past form in Ireland to figure but has shown nothing so far for current connections.
