    Verdict

    LANGLEY scored at Ffos Las a week ago and is taken to defy a penalty and follow-up in this company. Swiss Guard looks next best if forgiven a poor effort at Bangor on his reappearance as he was placed twice before that, while Just Beware had also been threatening to score before throwing in a bad one at Plumpton a fortnight ago. Zelos Diktator scored at the same track in September but is 5lb higher today.
