      Verdict

      A rather disappointing turn out but it remains a tight betting heat with little seperating five of the six-strong the field on these terms. Kylkenny returns to the all-weather having enjoyed a profitable turf campaign but may struggle under top weight on this occasion and is passed over while Twilight Haze faces a stiffer task following a claiming victory over course and distance last time. Scent Of Victory also comes here in winning form after getting up close home over 10f in a maiden at Lingfield last month and should appreciate this longer trip but marginal TEAMtalk preference is for Kristensen. Don Eddy's charge was an impressive five-length winner (off a mark of 71) in a handicap over C&D and should prove hard to beat if reproducing the same level of form.
