      Verdict

      Tom Queally is an interesting booking for Teetotal who has found life tougher off higher marks since winning twice in the space of eight days in June whilst Vallarta has yet to shine so far this year. Rhagori Aur has been producing decent if unspectacular performances and is now down to mark which should make Bryan Smart's inmate a dangerous proposition. However, SECONDO looked stylish when landing a Salisbury maiden and wasn't too bad when fourth to Equity Risk last time. He could well be better than that though and Roger Charlton's patient approach can reap dividends. Fortinbrass suddenly found some form last time when short-headed by Tatlisu at Leicester but the assessor has hit back immediately with a 4lb hike and it's probably best to ensure that he really is back to a consistent level of form.
