      Verdict

      Final Drive has a tough task under his 12lb penalty and it remains to be seen if the handicapper has caught up with the bang-in-form Elijah Pepper, but he does appear to have got to grips with Miami Gator now. Slikback Jack will need to improve again raised 6lb after his recent victory here but Faithful Ruler is back on a winning mark and has been showing signs of a return to form. However, after just two outings on turf this year, Kempton winner DAHAAM may relish a return to the Polytrack and the chance to fulfil the promise shown as a two-year-old - he gets the vote.
