        Verdict

        A good handicap made all the more trappy by the presence of Dutch Pursuit, winner of his last two starts but yet to race on Turf and not seen since early January. He could be anything. The rest of the field can all have a decent case argued for their chance but ASTROLOGER was going very much the right way until find the step up to Listed grade proved a bridge too far. He may regain the winning thread returned to calmer waters. Tommy G, the sole course and distance winner on show, should deliver his usual solid account whilst Inner Circle, back to form the last day, should prove competitive again. Ramesses is also of interest off bottomweight.
