      Verdict

      Tahchee won a seller at Leicester recently but this is tougher and Evident and World Record were both placed in plating races on their latest starts. Port Lairge make more appeal having won a couple of handicaps over track and trip earlier in the year but UNDER SIEGE is less exposed. The latter arrives on the back of a maiden win at Hamilton and this longer trip looks sure to suit now handicapping for the first time.
