        Verdict

        Verona Star has been off the track since making a winning debut as a two-year-old and has been gelded. GAME SET has the more recent winning form having scored at Doncaster earlier in the month and beating a subsequent winner in the process. He can defy a penalty and go in again. Sparkling Spirit has changed yards since placing over 6f here back in January while Poetic Jack was last in action in the same month.
