      Verdict

      The veteran Desperate Dan has won 11 races on the all-weather and 19 in all so must be a threat to all, despite a long absence. Another veteran, Efistorm, hasn't been running badly in handicaps and can get involved while Devil You Know is a rare entry in this kind of grade having mainly competed at a higher level. However, LEWYN has won twice in this grade recently at Lingfield and Kempton and can complete a Polytrack hat-trick despite having to concede weight all round.
