        Verdict

        Dual Identity went close in classified company at Salisbury and this isn’t much tougher. Uncle Dick placed yet again when third at Goodwood while Hafez finished third at Haydock on his first outing over this far. A winner over a mile at Windsor, EPIDEMIC ran well again at Newmarket last week and looks worth another chance with this extra distance likely to suit. Missile and The Hood have yet to threaten but both go handicapping for the first time and may well improve.
