      Verdict

      Honest deal throws in the occasional shocker and did so over track and trip last time. Dr Livingstone is better over further and Taglietelle will find this tougher than the maiden he won at Kempton. Yeomanoftheguard is also facing a more difficult task having won an amateurs event at Doncaster three weeks ago but McBirney has solid claims back over today's shorter distance. BLAZING DESERT has won twice at this track this year and after a decent effort when runner-up in this grade last time, he gets the nod.
