      Verdict

      A tricky finale but we're loathe to desert RING EYE (NAP), who won in a canter over 2m here last week. With Edward Greatrex again taking off 5lb, he's weighted to reverse earlier course and distance running with Bernisdale. Petrify has already won twice over track and trip this month and was only beaten a nose when attempting a hat-trick so rates a danger but recent Bath winner Rum Swizzle is now 6lb higher. Glens Wobbly is still a few pounds too high judged on his latest efforts.
