        Verdict

        James Fanshawe has his team in excellent heart and may be able to add to the tally with Fiveoclock Express. The son of Woodborough showed the benefit of experience when landing a maiden over this trip earlier in the month and, with further progress anticipated, can make a winning handicap debut of a fair mark. Aimee's Delight has been dropped 3lb for her latest start but may need further while Somnus has been done no favours by the assessor after his York success. Steel Blue is just 4lb higher than when lifting a valuable Newmarket handicap last time and rates a big danger to all.
