        Verdict

        A weak contest with RI NA FARRAIGE looking to have the strongest claims. He was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton last week and this longer trip will not be a problem for the bumper winner. Vision Of Hope was in good form on the all-weather before a couple of spins over hurdles while Mujid is creeping closer as he slips down the weights. Caracristi struggled in better company last time but better is expected back at this level.
