        Verdict

        A 12lb rise for Master Of Song's victory over 1m4f here looks a bit harsh judged on a couple of subsequent defeats on the Polytrack, while Kipchak is proving unwilling to take advantage of a falling handicap mark. Arizona High was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at this track a week ago and Magic Millie has a bit to find with NEWPORT ARCH on latest running here. The latter went very close to scoring over 1m4f last time and with more to come over middle-distances, John Quinn's charge gets the vote.
