        Verdict

        For the fourth time in six starts now, Smiling Stranger found one too good on his latest start. He's dropped in class today but has no easy task giving so much weight to the three-year-old TWITCH. The latter ran below par last time but was beaten only a nose at Salisbury before that and a repeat should see her go close. Faith Matters can also figure after a comeback fourth over track and trip but Midlight is another suffering from seconditis and never threatened the winner at Redcar last month. Mystery Code was well beaten on the Turf at Lingfield last time but looks a likely improver along with Diamond Ridge.
