        Verdict

        Rousayan arrives with a penalty after dropping to a very fair mark and winning readily at Carlisle last week. It will be a surprise if he's not in contention again but the former Dermot Weld-trained SPIORAD (NAP) was equally impressive when landing a Redcar maiden handicap nine days ago and has the scope to outrun his current handicap mark so gets the nod. Smile A Mile is also progressing nicely as he showed with a comfortable victory at Haydock and he may also be underestimated at just 6lb higher. Casement has won around here and didn't appear to last out 1m2f at Leicester last time while Kheros hails from a yard still going well and will find this easier than the Class 2 handicap he tackled at Epsom on his comeback.
