    Verdict

    Half of these raced in the same tough handicap at Ascot last month when there was little between Illusionist, Rayong and Show Me Show Me with Dylan De Vega further behind. Rayong may come out best of that group today but GARSMAN (NAP) gets another chance. The latter has won three of only five outings for Mick Appleby and after going close again at Windsor last week, he can go one better with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back. Queen's Order and Harry Love were well beaten in the same race over 6f at Haydock though are capable of much better back over today’s minimum trip but Auckland Lodge is upped in class.
