        Verdict

        LOCUM beat higher-rated rivals than he faces here in a seller at Wolverhampton last month. Mark Tompkins' charge can follow up with a similar effort. Sommersturm is 10lb higher than when scoring on the Polytrack back in January and Chapter Nine is on an 8lb higher mark than when winning at Bath last month. Sweet Liberta posted a better effort at Kempton last time and should be thereabouts, however, and Blue Dune may finish closer as her breeding suggests she'll appreciate today's step up in distance.
