      Verdict

      This looks a bit more competitive than the first division. Waqaas won over 7f here in July before finding 6f too short at Chepstow. Plansina has been hinting at a revival and has dropped a further 2lb in the ratings. Aiden's Reward won on Tapeta at Newcastle in February and has placed on Turf since and Critical Thinking goes well here. Traveller, Mabo and Dark Devil also warrant a mention but PINK JAZZ has only found one too good in his last two runs on the all-weather off this mark and deserves a change of luck.
