      Verdict

      Zhukov and Princely Hero filled the places behind Bajan Sunshine here 11 days ago. Kevin Tork's charge can win their particular battle again today but neither look particularly well handicapped at present and look too close in the weights to GOOD OLD DAYS. Even though now in the veteran stage, Kim Bailey's gelding showed he was still capable of decent form when fourth at Huntingdon last month and is now on a lower mark than when successful over this C&D in April last year. Of the others, Bid Art doesn't win very often but still looks a better bet than modest ex-pointer Battlefield Bob and the disappointing Ede's.
