        Verdict

        Eastern Gift and General Tufto are closely matched on their recent placed efforts behind the in-form Minortransgression. The former is more consistent, however, and that could give him the edge, while Jonnie Skull and Spacecraft have something to find with the aforementioned pair on recent running. HILBRE COURT was never going to catch Greyfriarschorista, who runs earlier on the card, when runner-up over C&D last time. But he's dropped another couple of pounds in the handicap and Jean-Pierre Guillambert's only ride of the meeting is taken to end his long losing run here.
