      Verdict

      Smuggler's Blues got off the mark over this trip at Bangor in April and still has some scope. Beni Light won at Uttoxeter last month but has looked in the handicapper’s grip since. Twasn't The Plan was only beaten a short-head at Warwick and should stay this extra half-mile but wind surgery doesn’t appear to have wrested any improvement out of Greybougg. JOUEUR BRESILIEN has struggled to make much of an impact on quick ground over the last 18 months but he could be a different proposition on today’s going with his yard in fine form.
