        Verdict

        Thane Of Cawdor pounced late to beat Elegant Ophelia by a length over a slightly shorter trip here two weeks ago but there should be little between the pair on today's revised terms. Super Duplex was only beaten a head over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and Orpen' Arry made a promising reappearance over the same course and distance last month but Dance's placed form has been at a lower level. MAISON BRILLET is fairly treated nowadays and will be coming hard at these in the closing stages. If he gets a good gallop, Clive Drew's gelding is the one to beat.
