        Verdict

        The consistent Firework can bounce back to winning ways ahead of recent winner A Teen, and topweight Juwwi. Firework has taken on a new lease of life this year, breaking his duck with three wins. The latest two have come in selling company, the five-year-old making the most of a good handicap mark. Four days ago he finished third to A Teen over the course and distance, beaten just over three and a half lengths in third, but is now nine pounds better off with that rival and will be strongly fancied to turn the tables. However, they will both find old Juwwi no pushover, and he can prove the best of Milton Bradley's three entries. The nine-year-old is well handicapped on his old form and was good enough to score at Doncaster in May. Lake Verdi is surely better than his recent form figures suggest, having paid the penalty for a decent juvenile campaign. He will find his form as the handicapper relents, while Komena and Kotori have place claims. All in all though, Firework looks the safest option to beat A Teen.
