        Verdict

        The Yank usually tries his best but is a rare winner with last week's victory over 1m6f here his first in 19 starts. Yorkshireman is another who regularly makes the frame but he was well beaten off today's mark last time having won over track and trip in November. The vote goes to AKULA to end his long losing run after finishing third over course and distance on his recent return to the Flat. Stoneham has won over a shorter trip here but Sendiym's only wins on the level came in France way back in 2010.
