        Verdict

        Arlecchino's Leap was last seen landing a hat-trick of victories over a mile on the all-weather last March. Martineo has the more recent form with a success over 6f here last month while Lucky Lodge has placed over the same distance at Newcastle the last twice. Critical Thinking has disappointed since going close when joint-favourite at Lingfield so another chance goes to DARK ALLIANCE, who won a claimer over course and distance last month and wasn’t beaten far in a more competitive contest back here last week.
