      Verdict

      Dig Two beat a small field in first-time cheekpieces at Haydock but is 4lb higher here. ROMAN DRAGON (NAP) won twice at this track last summer and again ran well here two weeks ago when only giving way inside the final furlong. The drop in trip is definitely in his favour and he can end the winning run of the less-exposed Hebrides. Evocative Spark and Giewont add to the interest in a competitive handicap.
