        Verdict

        Michaels Choice saves his best for Bath and won at the latter track a fortnight ago with Saras Hope well beaten. ZAPPER CASS finished runner-up over 6f recently but had won over today’s minimum trip at Chepstow back in August and is only 2lb higher today. Rasheeq has yet to win over 5f in 18 attempts but has been thereabouts over 6f lately while Afandem has slipped back down the weights but came up short when sent off favourite at Musselburgh last time. The veteran Tropics can race off a much lower mark on this surface having failed to win on Turf since 2015.
