        Verdict

        Indian Pursuit, the only course winner in the line -up, has been raised 3lb for last week's neck defeat over track and trip and can race from his old mark. EDGE OF THE BAY is in a similar position having also finished runner-up at the same fixture and as she has much more scope looks the one to be on. Leo Minor was a couple of lengths behind in that latter race and looks held but Solar Park has dropped to a very lowly mark these days and returned to something like form at Wolverhampton. Sir Hector was in fine form last winter and will have come on for his run here at the beginning of the month.
