      Verdict

      Servo is raised in class off a 6lb higher mark after scoring over track and trip and another recent course and distance winner in GLORY OF PARIS is preferred. Mick Appleby’s charge has been raised only 2lb after winning in this grade earlier in the month and may also have the edge over Blame Culture. The latter was narrowly beaten in a handicap here having won a novice stakes at Wolverhampton earlier while Executive Force was placed again last time but has yet to add to a debut success way back in 2016. Irish raider Prosecution has been hurdling and remains 5lb higher than an earlier win on the Flat.
