      Verdict

      Poppy Bond arrives in fine form and won for the third time this year when scoring at Southwell last week. She should go well again despite a penalty and makes more appeal than Showtime Star, who has done all her winning so far on the Fibresand. But MALAYSIAN BOLEH returned the clear winner over track and trip on his latest start and Shaun Lycett's charge looks the one to beat if in the same mood today. Upavon finished ahead of Elusivity at Kempton in November and both drop in class for this along with Extrasolar.
