      Verdict

      Castle Talbot was running well at Yarmouth last month but a further drop in distance may not suit the top weight. Ravenhoe seems on the back foot for the time being but Joyful Dream is 4lb lower than when third over track and trip in June and Imbucato was successful over 7f here two runs ago. However, the latter was well beaten by SOLVEIG’S SONG when favourite over this longer trip subsequently and Steve Woodman’s mare is probably worth sticking with now she’s find her form again as she’s still well treated, despite a penalty.
