        Verdict

        Khandaq is tried in a visor but only won a four-runner seller here in January and has been found out in this grade since. Alpha Tauri and Addikt both won last time but the former scored on the Fibresand and the latter's best form is over further. The maiden Charlcot is gradually getting there, however, while My Learned Friend was often thereabouts last year but hasn't won since 2009. LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND continues to run well and is now only a pound higher than when successful over 6f at Kempton in March. Conor Dore's charge can get back to winning ways here ahead of the luckless Unlimited.
