      Verdict

      Bossipop was a long way behind runaway winner Intrinsic Bond at Catterick last month but ran much better when chasing home the odds-on Jordan Electrics at Hamilton on Saturday and is a past winner here. Gale Force Maya,has placed twice since winning at Doncaster in the spring but remains 7lb higher. Haydock winner Macho Pride is in better form than stable companion Fortamour but the three-year-old PAWS FOR THOUGHT stumbled leaving the stalls at Hamilton last month and that race could not have worked any better with the first two winning big sprint handicaps at Goodwood on Saturday.
