      Verdict

      Compas Scoobie was only beaten a neck over course and distance two runs ago. But he didn’t run up to that form here last time and has yet to win on Turf in nine attempts. Zac Brown may also be better on the all-weather but he hasn’t done a lot wrong on Turf lately, winning at Goodwood last month, while this is the type of race in which Oh So Sassy is usually competitive. ELYSIAN FLYER (NAP) was sent to the Curragh for a valuable handicap at the start of the month and wasn’t disgraced. He’s recaptured his best since joining Paul Midgley at the start of the year and this looks a good opportunity to pick up the winning thread again if the ground doesn’t dry out. Major Pusey looks best of the rest.
