        Verdict

        EMPIRESTATEOFMIND has improved for the application of blinkers but is penalised for winning at Musselburgh a week ago. However, he returned a clear winner and is preferred to Strangerontheshore, who bids for a hat-trick under a penalty having completed a double at Carlisle. Lilikoi’s earlier win came in maiden company but Soller Bay went close over track and trip last time and Northbound has placed over 7f here recently. Shielded has his first outing of the year for a yard firing in the winners.
