      Verdict

      CUSTOM HOUSE is dropped in class after a couple of poor efforts in decent handicaps this season. He won over 7f here last year and Richard Hannon's gelding should take care of these rivals if back to anywhere near his best. So Is She has every chance at the weights but both wins came on the Fibresand, while improvement is expected from Better Self back on her preferred Polytrack after a couple of dismal efforts on the turf. The rest look up against it with Miss Boops' debut win at Doncaster last June looking like a fluke and Rather Cool making his seasonal debut.
