        Verdict

        Cognac Blue beat Elieden, who runs in the first division, in a Redcar seller 10 days ago. He’d probably need to improve on that to follow up here though has shown he stays the trip. Axel Jacklin is 0-8 on Turf but did win a Wolverhampton nursery last time and is only 2lb higher. BALATA BAY can defy top weight as his Chepstow victory came on good going and he probably found a mile at Salisbury last time a shade too far, though Such Promise looks to be improving and was keeping on over 6f at Catterick latest. Boorowa, among the least exposed, also has a squeak.
