        Verdict

        Hard to be confident about any of these as Commanche Raider scored over 5f here in June but his past efforts over today's trip leave a lot to be desired. A chance is taken on TOBY TYLER returning to form as he takes a drop in class and is back on a winning mark. Silver Wind will be more at home in this grade after a below par run at Haydock last time and Above The Stars should have come on for his recent seasonal debut. Consistant is anything but though he does have a recent second over C&D to his name.
