        Verdict

        Junoesque won over track and trip a fortnight ago and should go well again raised only 2lb while Hidden Stash also won here last month and is 4lb higher. Sharp Operator scored at the track in May and was runner-up at Yarmouth last time while CAPTAIN MARMALADE won by over four lengths over course and distance last autumn. Hampered and snatched up here on his recent seasonal debut, he can be forgiven that run and it could be his turn again today. Flying Sakhee looks best of the rest.
