        Verdict

        Coup De Grace beat the re-opposing King Olav over track and trip last month and that pair are hard to separate. But Bramshill Lass finished three lengths ahead of While You Wait when runner-up at Lingfield and should confirm running in the process of going close again. Java Rose won over 1m4f here last month but has been well beaten since, so it could pay to stick with SINGZAK. He came good over 1m6f at Wolverhampton recently and looks worth another try over this longer trip off only a 3lb higher mark.
