        Verdict

        FORD MADOX BROWN was beaten less than a length over track and trip recently and Stuart Williams’ charge gets the vote now back on a winning mark. Eternal Glory went close here earlier in the month having won at Wolverhampton earlier while Must Be Royale was sent off favourite at Newbury but could only manage fourth. Blame Culture hasn’t won for a long time and returns to action fitted with a hood.
