        Verdict

        Start Time has won three times around here and from higher marks so has to be respected along with Aliento, who gained her only victory to date over the track and trip in June. RED SEEKER completed a hat-trick at this sort of level and missed the break when stepping up to Class 4 at Beverley. He looks to have a chance of returning to winning ways here but Esprit De Corps hasn't won since April 2017 and is 1-26. Twin Appeal loves the stiff Beverley track but has been running well all season and it wouldn't be a surprise if he added to his eight victories. Sfumato carries a 5lb penalty for last week's victory over 6f at Carlisle though looks certain to go well again.
