    Verdict

    Dash Of Spice finished second over track and trip in June but has reverted to type again since. Arrow Of Gold was no match for an odds-on favourite at Thirsk in the same month but should have come on for the run. Kings Prince won his first two starts, including one here, but was beaten a long way on his handicap debut. Boltaway is upped in trip again going for the four-timer and POSSIBLE MAN (NAP) is preferred as the form of last month’s Nottingham victory received a boost when the runner-up won off a 3lb higher mark at Ascot last week.
