        Verdict

        PICCOLO EXPRESS won over C&D on his return from a lay-off earlier this month and may be able to follow up now he's got his head back in front. Chinese Democracy was not beaten far at Kempton on Wednesday and should make another bold bid, while the consistent Olympic Dream won at Southwell last month but is equally at home on this surface. Cwmni and Muqalad have the form on turf to figure but have been below par on Polytrack of late.
