      Verdict

      Red Hot Chilly makes a quick reappearance after finishing third at Newbury on Tuesday. Bath second Not Touch is getting closer but steps up in trip again and Officer Drivel hasn't won on the Flat in more than two years. Old Megalala is still running well enough to get involved but Perfect Rhythm has a poor record on Turf. SPORTY YANKEE is the selection simply because he's already shown a liking for this figure-of-eight track, though some rain wouldn't come amiss.
