      Verdict

      BRAINS went to race in Bahrain after scoring at Kempton in November and has the highest official rating here. He ran quite well in a Class 4 handicap back at Kempton in March and looks the one to beat. Sunset Salute won here last May though has been well beaten in all subsequent starts but Perfect Swiss won a Class 4 handicap on fast ground at Pontefract last summer and takes a drop in grade. Ripon winner Liberation Point didn't handle soft ground at Windsor last time but Strawberry Jack's last success came in a seller.
