        Verdict

        All of these look thoroughly exposed and Playtothewhistle, who hasn't raced since November, has not managed a single place on Turf so far. Charles De Mille won on fast ground at Nottingham in May but remains 5lb higher and finished a length-and-a-half behind Celtic Artisan over a slightly longer trip at Redcar last month. Opt Out won off a higher mark over track and trip last year but is also held by Celtic Artisan on the form book. Soft going didn't suit ALMUHALAB when he finished behind Opt Out at Ayr last month. He's plummeted down the weights this year and should do better here.
