      Verdict

      CONAS TAOI has obvious claims having won a race for conditional jockeys by five lengths at Warwick under this jockey. A winner without a penalty, Paul Morgan's charge can go in again. No Through Road has a recent pipeopener under his belt and that may give him the edge over the likes of Copper Birch and Incentivise, who both look on decent marks compared to earlier wins. The long losing run of As De Fer continues as he plummets further down the weights but Tom Bach has returned to a winning mark and could go well.
