      Verdict

      None of these are easily dismissed though recent Southwell winner Tigray finished behind LORD LAMINGTON when the latter won easily here a fortnight ago. Mark Johnston’s charge has a 5lb rise to contend with but Ryan Moore’s presence is a positive. Smarter was raised 14lb after romping home at Southwell but still went close at Newcastle last time. He’s upped in trip for this along with Emirates Empire and Withoutdestination, who both scored over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on their latest respective starts with the former preferred now handicapping after winning a maiden in good style.
