        Verdict

        Chookie Dunedin is a Tapeta specialist these days but has won here twice including on soft ground in May. True Warfare made a winning debut at Southwell in December and had excuses for a poor reappearance at Redcar then ran in a better race than this at York. YAASER went up 9lb for completing a double here in May but has continued in excellent form and has only been narrowly beaten from his raised mark the last twice. He had Novak a long way behind in that race here in May but the latter showed improved form to score at Redcar. Grigadale had some fair form in Ireland though may find the ground too fast.
