        Verdict

        This could be an informative bumper as those with experience set a decent standard. ROBIOLA gets a weight-for-age allowance and is still improving so gets the nod with the mare Dollar Bae penalised for winning at Wincanton, though she was impressive that day. Jet Marshall and Off To A Flyer have both shown ability between the flags and have joined powerful NH yards with newcomers Urban Soldier and Major Fortune both by Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune.
