      Verdict

      Both Watchable and Benny And The Jets were well beaten last time having won their penultimate starts with the latter finishing in front of Dazzling Des when scoring at Wolverhampton. Thegreatestshowman is usually thereabouts without winning and gets a change of headgear while Breathless Times is still looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights. But DRAKEFELL continued his good form with a neck defeat at Southwell recently and back on a lower mark than when winning at Lingfield in March, he gets the vote.
