        Verdict

        Global Hope is due to be dropped a couple of pounds from next week but wasn’t beaten far over 7f at Yarmouth last week and Oisin Murphy rides so Gay Kelleway’s charge has as good a chance as any in a weak opener. BOUNTY PURSUIT has won over this trip but raced mainly over further last season. However, he won three times and his best form could be good enough for this. Alfie Solomons is 0-14 on Turf but may still be the pick of the remainder.
