    Verdict

    Pistol Basc grabbed a rare win at Stratford last month but has been beaten at the same track off today's mark since. LORD FOX has won three times in this grade in the last 18 months and can make a successful reappearance following his summer break as last year's winner Cara Court is difficult to catch right nowadays. None of the remainder make much appeal on what they've shown so far.
