      Verdict

      RONALDINHO won by 15 lengths on his last start on the Flat and was placed twice over hurdles over the winter. He should prove hard to beat here under Richard Hughes as the going won't be a problem. Jupiter Storm was second over course and distance last month and races off the same mark. There is no reason why he won't be thereabouts again but Sporting Gold is still 9lb higher than when winning at Haydock last September and closely matched with Swift Blade on Kempton running earlier this year. Commissar is best on Polytrack nowadays.
