        Verdict

        ivot Bridge has been threating to get his head in front of late, while Ventura Sands looks to have claims on his win at Haydock last month. Free Art has slipped down the weights and did better last time, while 7f winner Icebuster went close again at Salisbury recently. HONEST DEAL has been running over a mile but was placed over today's C&D distance back in May and, dropped in grade and back on a winning mark, gets the vote. Sangar could prove best of the remainder.
