        Verdict

        JEU DE VIVRE has the best recent form on show with a win over 1m4f at Musselburgh to her credit. She went close over today's shorter trip before that and a repeat should be good enough against today's rivals. Damascus Symphony showed signs of a return to form when third at Carlisle last time and the same can be said of Commander Veejay, who ran on for third-place at Redcar on his latest start. Arctic Cat has scope for improvement if staying the extra distance.
