    Verdict

    Strangely for a runner in this grade, Blackheath has been in consistently good form of late and is taken to follow up his recent course and distance success and make it four wins from his last five starts, getting the verdict ahead of Twinned and Now You See Me. The last mentioned came good when winning a handicap here a fortnight ago and she has to be respected but may struggle to follow up off a 5lb higher mark today. Milton Bradley's Lithaam should come on for his recent reappearance but needs to, while White Ledger may struggle to reverse form with Now You See Me, even on the revised terms today. Taboor is proving to be hard to win with and of more interest may be Twinned who has been running consistently well of late. Blackheath has been in fine form recently though and he is hard to oppose.
