      Verdict

      Beach Bar won over a longer trip here last month. Ghalib dotted up on soft going at Salisbury in the spring while Midnight Rider beat a subsequent winner at Chepstow at the start of the month, though may not be as effective on this ground. SIR BILLY WRIGHT's two recent victories here have come over 5f and he carries a penalty for the second of them. But he has conditions in his favour again and has scored over 6f on the all-weather so can complete the hat-trick. Personal Touch isn't out of this either as he's been in good form this year, though is better over further.
