      Verdict

      A dual winner on the all-weather, the unexposed OH SO GRAND was upped in trip for her handicap debut and gets another chance in this. Ribal returned a losing favourite for the fourth time in succession when third at Bath and cheekpieces are applied while Light Up Our Stars returns from a break but won off a higher mark here last summer. Flight Of Angels drops back down in trip with a shout and the same comment applies to Zhang Fei.
