        Verdict

        Hummdinger is surely better than he showed at Worcester. Local Affair was having only her second career start when runner-up at Fontwell so has scope. It would be no surprise to see her go one better but this looks ripe for an upset and LIMELIGHTER may have found the ground too testing when last at Newton Abbot. He’s since finished fourth in a seller on the Flat at Goodwood. Catch The Cuban boasts one good run on the Flat but has been otherwise disappointing.
