      Verdict

      This trip and fast ground suits Finn Class, who lost all chance at the start in a better race at Catterick on Monday. Reposer hasn't won for two years when trained in Ireland and does best with some cut in the ground. Lucky Lodge has been in very good form but is now on his highest mark since 2012. David O'Meara complicates the issue by saddling the top three in the weights but the form pick of the trio is REX IMPERATOR (NAP). It's a long time since he was winning major handicaps but he retains plenty of ability and is now on his lowest mark despite showing signs of a revival over 6f here last time.
