      Verdict

      Spanish Mane is a previous course and distance winner and Ey Up Its Jazz has also won at the track and found only one too good last time at Beverley. Ratafia placed on soft going at Doncaster two runs ago and Benoit De La Sayette is doing the steering but it was fast ground when Local Bay won over a mile at Brighton. Willard Creek has tumbled down the weights but long-standing maiden DIAMONDSINTHESAND has shown enough lately to suggest he can finally get his head in front. Ceilidh has gone up 5lb for winning at Ffos Las but will handle the going so looks a threat to all.
