        Verdict

        There has been give in the ground for all four of Showalong’s victories so far so we’ll give KUWAIT CITY a chance to prove his win on good to firm at York was no fluke. An easier surface would also have suited Beverley runner-up Sir Titus with Strong Johnson probably the pick of the remainder having hinted at a revival when fourth at Catterick. Sound Reason is well treated but looks to have lost the plot.
