    Verdict

    Raybaan can make up for his recent defeat against Prize Ring and Molly's Secret, with Murdinga not out of it if fit enough. Raybann was beaten in a claimer at Beverley six days ago after failing to last out the mile and a half. The drop back in trip should suit, and with Saleem Golam taking five pounds off his back, he can score at the expense of Prize Ring who has a couple of placed efforts to his name in the past. Molly's Secret was successful at Brighton in May and did not go down without a fight against Chevin at Warwick a fortnight ago. He can make the frame, while Murdinga makes the journey up from Sussex without a prior run this term and with topweight to boot, but is sure to have been well galloped for this. For the winner though, we return to Raybaan.
