        Verdict

        Mark Johnston has had a good week so Love Oasis is respected here. She won over this trip at Leicester in June and has only found one too good in her last three starts, though is edging up the weights again. FIREFRIGHT (NAP) looked one to follow when quickening smartly to score at Doncaster last month. He’s been raised 6lb for that but should be capable of defying the extra. Clear Spring might not be the force of old but has dropped to a fair mark and Moonraker has been placed off higher marks this year. Mont Kiara and Ice Lord are both capable of playing a part if in the mood.
