    Verdict

    A trappy affair in which all can have a good case argued for their chance with the exception of Swiss Chime. True Hero has gone down narrowly on both starts this season for which the handicapper has rewarded him with a latest rise of 2lb. First-time cheekpieces are applied and a good run is anticipated with conditions to suit. Mr Buttons is consistent but rises in class here and Diamonique is probably best watched for now. Dream House and Celsius arrive in good heart at present and are respected accordingly but VEE MAN TEN has improved with every run this term and can continue the trend on the back of a narrow defeat in an Ayr sprint two weeks ago.
