      Verdict

      STAR OF LOMBARDY finally won on Turf a fortnight ago and is upped 4lb for a recent success over course and distance. But this looks no tougher given Ya Jammeel’s win came in a lower grade over 1m2f at Chepstow and Really Super finished a close-up fourth over 1m6f at Wetherby last time. Sureness has been hurdling but won off a similar mark on the Flat last summer while Sputnik Planum may finish closer today now handicapping for the first time.
