      Verdict

      Walkonby is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won on good-to-soft in June before well beaten in faster conditions. Union Spirit has won two Class 6 handicaps over the trip and steps up in grade from 8lb higher. Turkestan was staying on in a mile maiden at Ripon and has plenty of scope while Abbotside just failed to hold Fraternity over the same track and trip though the winner didn't enhance the form next time. Zambezi Magic ran his best race to date at Doncaster last time and there should be more to come but SILVER MISSION (NAP), who was staying on strongly behind the in-form Turntable in a mile handicap at Newmarket, can take this for Richard Fahey with Billy Garrity's claim a bonus.
