        Verdict

        Scottish Summit is the senior runner in this but shows no sign of slowing down, finishing a good second off this mark at Ripon eight days ago. Blue Mist won a valuable handicap at Ascot last summer but has not reproduced that form. BEAT LE BON has been on a bit of a losing run but the handicapper has given him a chance in this grade so he gets the nod ahead of Turn On The Charm, upped 5lb for beating three rivals in a race at Lingfield which rather fell into his lap. Tiger Crusade remains relatively unexposed and was a winner over 7f here last summer so can’t be ignored.
