      Verdict

      A hat-trick looks on the cards for FIRE IN BABYLON. He carries a penalty for last weekend's victory at this track but this looks less competitive and he already holds verdicts over Dontpaytheferryman and Funky Munky. Disco Dave would figure if taking part but that's not certain as he was due to run here last night while Grandiloquent seems best over 2m nowadays. Helmsley Flyer gets a first-time visor after finishing tailed off on his comeback at Southwell in December.
