        Verdict

        Largo Bay won here last year and has placed since while Later Darling went close at Lingfield last time looking for his first win. Roscioli and Royal Thunder have yet to win anywhere but SWORD BEACH is back on a winning mark and drops down class with a recent outing under his belt. Tiger Beetle and The Thunderer are upped in trip but Rhebus Road and Renardeau have won over hurdles since last seen on the Flat.
