        Verdict

        This is the type of race the phrase 'something has to win' was invented for and it's with great trepidation that we give a final chance to ENGULF. The Haggas inmate is clearly a bit of a rogue having spurned a glorious opportunity at Catterick, in the process gaining his fifth consecutive second. Hopes are pinned on the combination of first-time blinkers and Richard Hughes, whose tender handling may provoke a more consenting display from a clearly talented sort. Hooligan Sean can be forgiven a poor display at Epsom and must be considered on the pick of his efforts over this trip, Streets Of War may improve for his Windsor run as he'd been given a break prior to that while Norville is at least going the right way and has had fewer chances than those mentioned. Fact and Sunset City are both bred for the trip and wouldn't have to be great to get involved.
