        Verdict

        Plenty with claims but THE GAME IS ON finished second in a higher grade over track and trip last month and should go close again at this level. Dangerous Ends also arrives on the back of placed efforts and can figure with Ben Curtis taking over the reins while Central City has been thereabouts over a longer trip recently and is not out of this. Fair Power finished in front of Greek Kodiac when runner-up here earlier and Balgees Time gets a change of headgear after placing on a trip over to France.
