      Verdict

      TIMES SQUARE finished runner-up over C&D at this time last year off a 10lb higher mark. He wasn't disgraced on his return from a two month lay-off when fifth here last time and gets the vote ahead of Black Iceman. The latter bids for a hat-trick after a couple of victories at Wolverhampton and should go close again despite a 4lb rise, while Sylas Ings carries a penalty having finally got off the mark over a shorter trip here last week. Four Steps Back has scope for improvement on the back of his third over C&D and is preferred to Asterales of the others.
