        Verdict

        Hessian returned to form with a bang last time at Lingfield when receiving a well judged ride from Jamie Spencer. Up 3lb for that outing, that might be enough to halt this apparently improved sort. Arthur's Edge failed to complete the hat-trick at Kempton and is up an aggregate of 17lb since it's first win and could now be in the grip of the handicapper. Playtotheaudience did not appear as suited by the fibresand surface and is back to the course where he achieved two victories in March. Hessian won in fine style last time to suggest another victory might not be far away.
