      Verdict

      None of these are easily dismissed although recent Polytrack winners Monsieur Lavene and Saffire Song are unproven on the surface. The remainder have all won or been placed at this track with Ealain Aibrean having a length to find on latest running with ARGENT TOUCH. The latter was caught in the closing stages over course and distance last week and gets the vote dropping down a grade for this. Black Geronimo has won a claimer over 6f here and Britain won a maiden race at this venue in August before a poor effort on her handicap bow.
