      Verdict

      Sophar Sogood won over track and trip before struggling at Wolverhampton and can do better back on this surface while Grand Pianola has been thereabouts over a shorter trip here recently still looking for a first win. The Resdev Way has the past form but looks no nearer winning again on recent efforts so a chance is taken COOL POSSIBILITY can bounce back to form. The latter has been well beaten on Turf lately but he completed a double at the track early in the year and can go close if recent wind surgery has the desired effect.
