        Verdict

        It was heavy going when THE DALEY EXPRESS won this 12 months ago but he also also handles quicker ground and warmed up nicely for a repeat when only beaten a neck at Windsor on Monday. Acclaim The Nation won at Wolverhampton in January but is 5lb higher and 13lb higher than when last successful on Turf. Secretfact goes for a fifth course victory but is hard to catch right and plenty of the others have won on the track including Delagate This Lord and the race-fit Union Rose, though the latter has the outside berth.
