        Verdict

        Recent Beverley winner Cliffcake was scoring for the first time since landing this contest last year while Ascot Adventure placed at Beverley more recently. Prolific on the all-weather, One More Dream has yet to win on Turf but Devilwala posted a better effort over a mile here last time. TOUCHWOOD (NAP) is a headstrong type and paid for failing to settle at Leicester recently but he gets another chance on his earlier placed efforts in this less competitive contest.
