      Verdict

      Oso Rapido gained his latest victory in this race a year ago and though not in the same kind of form he'll be 10lb lower with his rider's claim taken into account. The ground won't be a problem nor will it be for QUERCUS, who has gained all of his three career victories on this track including from a higher mark so looks the one to beat. He holds Prospect on last month's run while Ecclesiastical went up 9lb for completing a double at Chester and is another 2lb higher after finishing third at Musselburgh. Blazing Son completed a double on Tapeta in the spring and led for a long way on soft ground at Thirsk
