      Verdict

      The Happy Hammer would prefer a longer trip but Paradise Spectre won't mind the drop back in distance having been placed over 7f here on his last couple of outings. Speak The Truth can get involved and makes more appeal than Quality Art, who finished ahead of Pharoh Jake at Lingfield a week ago. Bussa's run of placed efforts came to an end at Wolverhampton last time and he's overlooked in favour of THE STRIG. His latest third over track and trip suggests he'll be winning soon off his current mark and it could be today.
