        Verdict

        Kyber Crystal won over the minimum trip here a fortnight having earlier finished behind fourth-placed HAGIA SOPHIA over track and trip. The latter caught the eye making up late ground on that occasion having made a hash of the start and may prove the one to side with. The Cola Kid had Bama Lama back in third when scoring at Ffos Las last week and Malham Tarn Cove is preferred of the remainder back over this longer trip.
