        Verdict

        Light Of Air was still beaten a long way when third over track and trip a fortnight ago but Let Me In was less than a length behind the winner when placed at Bath. Top Beak needs to be forgiven a poor effort at Epsom last time but went close here in June while Cricklewood Green should have done better at Salisbury last week. CONTINGENCY FREE needs to improve but has the scope to do so on only his second start handicapping and it’s Brian Meehan’s charge that’s gets a speculative vote with headgear applied for the first time.
