        Verdict

        BAHANGO is in fine form and was successful for the second time this year when returning a clear winner over track and trip last time. He’s preferred to The Big Lad, who has gone off the boil since landing a double at the turn of the year. Come On Dave finished ahead of Secret Asset when fourth at Chelmsford last month while Showmethewayavrilo ended last year with a string of placed efforts at Bath. Invincible Ridge went close here in February and can figure if the mood takes him.
