      Verdict

      Roayh has been on the downgrade for the best part of two years now and was still beaten eight lengths when runner-up at Windsor last time. FINAL DRIVE is another looking for his first win since 2010 but finally showed signs of a resurgence off today's mark at Wolverhampton last week. He looks set for a return to winning ways and is just preferred to Angelic Upstart, a close-up third here recently with Junket a couple of lengths behind. Forgive should also be thereabouts and makes more appeal than Paphos, who is upped in class today.
