        Verdict

        Hits Only Cash has gone up 6lbs for his success at Yarmouth last month and may struggle to follow up off his new mark back on the Polytrack so preference is for Casablanca Minx, with Bethanys Boy rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has been running consistently well of late, remains well treated and is taken to resume winning ways. Green Pirate ran better here over six furlongs last time and should not be inconvenienced by the return to further but is held by the selection on running here the time before. Kings Topic may do better over further and seems a shade high in the weights anyway, while October Ben has slipped to a fair mark but needs to improve on recent form to take a hand. Bethanys Boy was good value for his win at Folkestone last time and has to be respected but this looks tougher off his new mark and preference is for the consistent Casablanca Minx.
