        Verdict

        Rembrandt has been placed the last twice now though his recent second came over 2m at Redcar while Judicious went close over 1m2f at Beverley on a couple of occasions last summer but hasn’t raced since August. Life Knowledge won at Newcastle in February but is 5lb higher today and a speculative vote goes to WHITECLIFF PARK. Brian Ellison’s charge won at Wolverhampton at the start of the year and is 3lb lower returning to this surface.
