      Verdict

      Aljari returns to today’s trip bidding for a hat-trick after winning over 6f at Windsor last time while Amber Island can go well again after scoring at Leicester with Maxi Boy back in fourth. Riot won over track and trip back in May with WYVERN (NAP) behind but the latter was beaten only a neck in this grade here last month and gets the vote to reverse running.
