        Verdict

        DELIBERATION looks to have every chance of landing his fourth consecutive win. His first two came over track and trip and, despite a 5lb higher mark, this looks less competitive than his latest victory at Epsom. I Got You Babe and Unwrapit will do well to reverse recent running with the selection and Brave Battle is facing a tougher task after scoring at Newcastle last month. Hills Of Dakota won his maiden over a shorter trip at Ripon last time and could prove a biggest threat with further progress likely.
