        Verdict

        Several posted better efforts last time, including course regular and last year’s winner KRYSTALLITE. Scott Dixon’s mare won here again earlier in the year and another bold bid is likely. Entertaining Ben was only beaten a length on the Turf course at Lingfield recently while Absolutely Awesome won off a higher mark here at this time last year but hasn’t raced since January. Fareeq has won twice this year, though his best recent form has been at Southwell, and Red Stripes won off a higher mark at Chelmsford at the start of the year.
