      Verdict

      The four-year-olds are all getting weight from their younger rivals in this which just about sums up their capabilities. Assembly is less exposed than the others but only beat one home when odds-on at Newcastle in May and hasn't been seen since. HONEYMOON EXPRESS has run here three times this year and hasn't been disgraced so far. Her latest third to Blessing Box over 5f was her best effort to date and she can finally get off the mark as Marsh Dragon has been a big disappointment this season and New Rich isn't getting any better.
