      Verdict

      The Yank drops back in trip in search of a four-timer and has a further 6lb hike to contend with. PRECISION FIVE also won over a longer trip at Chelmsford last time but had scored over 1m2f here before that so today's distance should not be a problem. Thomas Blossom beat The Yank at Wolverhampton back in January but is up in class having gone close again at Kempton last time while Salient also won a lower grade contest over course and distance in November but has been well beaten since.
