      Verdict

      Scintillante and Newcastle winner Hedonista are both making their handicap debuts but the latter is also having a first run on Turf, as is Lexington Hero who was beaten by Mirabello Bay at Wolverhampton in March. Greased Lightning is tried in cheekpieces while Great Bedwyn is eased in grade but BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS’ defeat at Lingfield on Monday may only have been a temporary setback as the bottom weight is still well treated.
