        Verdict

        Six Strings has won three times this year but has been creeping up the weights recently without winning and may be due a rest. Copper And Five was only fifth off his new mark at Redcar after winning over this track and trip earlier while though Xcelente drops a further pound he still looks too high in the weights. MENAI BRIDGE has only won on Polytrack so far but did finish second over this trip at Haydock two runs ago before finding 1m2f a shade too far at Leicester. With trip and going against Zwelela, Charlie Hills’ charge gets the nod ahead of the disappointing Yankee Stadium and Frantoio.
