      Verdict

      There are probably only three to be concerned about in this but Nigh Or Never, second here and at Ludlow back in January, has been absent since disappointing over this trip at Newbury in March. Let's Sway has proved expensive to follow since springing a surprise at Wincanton in May so we’ll give another chance to ILEWIN GEEZ as his Plumpton conqueror, Lord Condi, followed up under a penalty at Ludlow last week.
