    Verdict

    ADDRESS UNKNOWN has been off the track for a while but is hard to oppose on his comeback. Dermot Weld's charge won here as a two-year-old and acquitted himself well in four starts in Group company last season without winning. Bikini Babe looks the only real threat, though she hasn't won since landing her maiden in 2009 and has been well beaten in both starts this year. Stephen's Green and Plum Sugar have both won on this surface but are hard to fancy on today's unfavourable terms.
