Verdict

Elusive Heights has been knocking on the door in this grade recently and Perfect Soldier was a winner twice at Musselburgh in the spring. Visitant could outrun inflated odds having tumbled down the weights but Calidus Mirabilis was beaten in a Redcar claimer when last seen. Dandy's Angel has been back to his best lately but is giving 11lb to DETECTIVE (NAP), who was a course and distance winner two runs ago before finding a mile too short on a return visit.
