        Verdict

        Not many arrive in decent form but MAY SONIC just missed out in this grade over 5f at Newcastle last time. He looks the one to side with having won over course and distance earlier in the year when beating Aljady. The latter re-opposes on better terms though has disappointed subsequently while Sir Oliver won a lower grade contest at Brighton last month but has to race off a 9lb higher mark back on the all-weather. The three-year-old Stylish Performer landed a double over 7f earlier but Lexington Dash is preferred on his victory at Doncaster in May with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today.
