      Verdict

      ASTUTE BOY was having his first start of the year when runner-up in soft ground over track and trip last month. It’s reasonable to expect some improvement and Finley Marsh takes 7lb off his back today. Iballisticvin never threatened the winner when placed here recently but has been dropped 2lb while Lemon Drop was never in contention when fourth at the track a week ago. The Salmon Man failed to convince stepped up to 1m4f last time and Helf was well beaten in a maiden over course and distance a fortnight ago.
