        Verdict

        RIVER USK is weighted to reverse course and distance running last month with Menalippe and the improving son of Dandy Man can open his account today. Beach Breeze has ability but never seems to run two races alike and Knights Artist turned in a shocker at Thirsk last month. Queen's Eyot is also hard to catch right but Love Fifteen produced her best run over this trip in August and Capofan also has a squeak.
