    Verdict

    BLACKCURRENT made all in one of these events over course and distance five days ago and can confirm running with third-placed Bluella despite the worse terms. Essaka finished further behind the selection last time while True Hero returned a beaten favourite when only fifth over 6f at the track last week. Navajo Dawn has won here in the past and has undergone a wind operation since last in action while Poppy Jag can figure at this level if the mood takes her.
