        Verdict

        Patience has run out with Never Said Nothing, who found one too good for the fourth time in succession over a longer trip here. Elixsoft also drops back down in trip but is 8lb higher than when scoring here earlier and BERTOG looks a safer proposition. The latter looks ready to take advantage of a slide down the weights on the back of a recent second over course and distance and can race off the same mark today. Street Poet and Kumasi placed over shorter trips last time and Courtside is worth a second glance with Oisin Murphy on board.
