      Verdict

      Hairdryer has some good form at this trip and isn’t badly handicapped, but all of his best form has been on an artificial surface so ASHAZURI (nap) may be a better option. The four-year-old has been a model of consistency, has two wins from two attempts at course and distance and ran well at Epsom last time out. Purple Rock hasn’t tasted victory in a while, but ran a respectable second at Beverley and could go well for his new stable. Archimento was poor in his latest outing at Brighton and may need some help from the handicapper, while War At Sea is best watched after struggling over hurdles.
