      Verdict

      BENADALID won easily back on soft going over track and trip last time. He beat subsequent winner Jean Baptiste, due to run in the previous race on today’s card, and is taken to reverse earlier running with Fishable on the prevailing testing ground. The latter beat Scottish Summit when scoring here last summer but Alpine Mistral is better suited to the underfoot conditions and an improved effort is expected from him with the remaining pair hard to recommend.
