        Verdict

        Feyha was below par at Bath last month but has been dropped a few pounds. Flight Of Angels is back on a winning mark and was only beaten a head at Epsom a week ago so has to go on the shortlist along with Ectocross, who has also been in good form at Epsom, while Emperor's Clothes doesn’t look badly treated on handicap debut. DAARREE is back on Turf after a couple of runs on Polytrack and there is a good chance that the step up in trip will suit Owen Burrows’ gelding.
