      Verdict

      MICHELE STROGOFF is hard to catch right but has tumbled down the weights since a close fourth here last summer and his turn may have come around again. Ivan Furtado runs three but Broken Rifle has already been beaten under his penalty so Hector's Here may prove the pick of the trio. Never Said Nothing has found only one too good in each of his last three starts here, though one of those was a claimer. Laurentia is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield in November but hasn’t threatened since.
