        Verdict

        SMUGGLERS CREEK made all to win over 7f here last week and went close on his only previous start over today’s trip. Iain Jardine’s charge is taken to defy a penalty in an open contest. War Department found one too good here recently and Racemaker has gone close at Ripon the last twice now. Mustaqbal and Sultan Baybars are capable at this level on their day and preferred to Testa Rossa while Pumaflor posted a better effort at Hamilton last time but is upped in class.
