        Verdict

        Dapper Man gained the 15th victory of his career at Southwell last month on his 98th start. He's 6lb higher but Jonny Peate's claim takes care of most of that. Spanish Angel gained his second Tapeta success of the year last month and didn't get the clearest of runs here a fortnight ago but nor did runner-up TOMMYTWOHOOTS. The latter gets the vote to go one better as he holds third-placed Birdie Bowers. Golden Gal has a good record here and would be threat to all if ready after a break.
