      Verdict

      The three-year-old Soapys Sister scored over 6f here in May and possibly wasn't suited by softer ground at Carlisle. The veteran Economic Crisis only just failed to add to her 17 career victories at Musselburgh where she can be rated an unlucky loser. LOMU has returned to Turf in fine form and was only headed close home when carrying a huge weight in this grade at Newmarket. His rider's claim could just give him the edge over Be Proud, up 6lb for last month's course and distance victory, and John Kirkup, though the latter could do with some rain. Neither Get Boosting nor Saluti can be dismissed in an open handicap.
