        Verdict

        ADRAKHAN got off the mark on the level at Redcar back in June and although he’s dropping back in trip here, that shouldn’t be a problem in what looks like a weak contest. Percy Verence has run well in his last two outings without success but hasn’t suggested that he’s about to break his duck, while Manomine showed a modicum of promise in a couple of races in Ireland in May but has done nothing since. Tropical Bachelor is potentially on a winning mark and may improve for his first run in two years at Doncaster last time, and Miskin who has twice made the frame this season has realistic each-way hopes.
