        Verdict

        Billy Loughnane has been snapped up for Dembe, whose four-timer earlier this year included a victory on his only start here. Tiger Beetle was having only his second all-weather start when gaining a shock course and distance victory a couple of weeks ago. Mafia Power was just over a length behind and will be 4lb better off but that may not be enough to turn the tables. Young Fire is on a long losing run but gradually dropping to a winnable mark. QUEEN OF IPANEMA counted three course victories in her recent five-timer and was competing at a much higher level when fifth at Lingfield. She can get back to winning ways at this level.
