        Verdict

        Lismore has placed on Polytrack and Tapeta and is having only a second run on Turf. Nikolayeva has won on the all-weather but Socially Shady beat only one home in a handicap here last month. Justified has picked up a penalty for winning a lesser race at Hamilton 10 days ago and quicker going would be a concern while stablemate Batalha continues to disappoint. EAGLE’S FOOT has had just the two runs and wasn’t beaten far at Thirsk last time – he starts off in handicaps at a modest level.
