        Verdict

        Speciality thrives on fast ground so connections wouldn't want any rain as she bids for her hat-trick. This might be too competitive for course specialist Jonnie Skull but Desert Ranger won over 7f here last month and is only a pound higher. PLEASURE BENT didn't really respond to the blinkers at Windsor in June but is a couple of pounds lower than when third on the Polytrack earlier and a repeat of that effort would put him in the firing-line here. Afkar often runs well here but his losing streak now stretches back two years.
