    Verdict

    Three of these took part in a similar contest over track and trip earlier in the month when runner-up Meshardal came out best just ahead of third-placed EXTRASOLAR. But the latter tumbled down the weights last year and looks set to end a long losing run at last. Windforpower was further behind on that occasion but Tricky Dicky beat a subsequent winner when winning at Southwell and collateral form also gives him the beating of Secret Missile. Top of The Bank won twice on the all-weather earlier in the year and was second at Hamilton recently but Major Crispies has won just the once on Turf in 26 attempts.

    Extrasolar 6-1 (9-3) Off the pace in last pair, headway on outside over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, nearly snatched 2nd, nearest finish, 3rd of 8, 3/4l behind Vallarta (9-4) at Catterick 6f hcp (5) gf in May.
