    Verdict

    POLYDAMOS went close over a mile in this lowly grade last week. Placed over today's longer trip before that, he may finally come good wearing a visor for the first time. Appyjack has something to find with the selection but Silver Fawn finished a bit closer at Wolverhampton last week and makes more appeal. The Wonga Coup and Addikt have both slipped down the handicap and won over track and trip before while Vergality Ridge could prove best of the rest.
