      Verdict

      Rich Again attempts to defy the handicapper once again having rattled-up a four-timer at Wolverhampton while Ocean Legend carries a penalty after landing a couple of lower grade races including a seller last time. Realize has a shout despite a 6lb rise for scoring over course and distance a fortnight ago but FIRST EXPERIENCE (NAP) is preferred. The latter never figured in Class 2 company here last time but went close on a couple of occasions before that and looks up to landing this with Ryan Moore taking over.
