    Verdict

    MYSTIQUE HEIGHTS was surprisingly beaten by Tyrell over 2m at Nottingham last month but holds Elocution on a line through the winner and he's back over his winning trip here. Wearing a visor to aid concentration, a return to winning ways is on the cards. Kelvin Hall was tailed off last time at Ayr and appears better on the all-weather but there should be more to come from Lingfield fourth Madame Chow and Three Loves has had just the three runs to date and should be suited by this trip – she also wears a visor for the first time.
