        Verdict

        Lilikoi finally won a handicap when successful at Haydock and can go well again but YAASER is preferred. The latter won over 7f here in May and having shown further progress when beaten only a nose over track and trip a week ago, Jim Goldie’s charge gets the vote. Retirement Beckons won at Hamilton recently while the less exposed Ravenglass went close at Wolverhampton though the ground is a worry for Samuel Spade.
