        Verdict

        Plenty with claims in this. Rakaan scored over a mile at Bath last time and beat Menelik over course and distance early in the year. Legal Shark can figure stepping up in distance after winning here on his penultimate start while Charlies Mate scored over 1m4f at Kempton last month but is now 12lb higher. Glennten is usually thereabouts in this grade and Yours Truly has lots of scope but so does FRANTICA (NAP), dropped in class after a fourth at Sandown with Frankie taking over the reins for this.
