        Verdict

        The Turpinator returned to winning ways over track and trip and given he beat Illusionist, Alexander James, Swiss Ace and One More Dream another bold bid is expected. Jahidin won a lower grade race here last time and is not out of this either but AL FARABI found only one too good at Southwell attempting to defy a penalty and has scope for further improvement now handicapping. The veteran Scottish Summit was winning off a higher mark here last year and drops down in class today.
