      Verdict

      STRING THEORY bounced back to form with a victory in similar company at Kempton a fortnight ago. Still lightly-raced, he looks the one to beat off only a 3lb higher mark with further progress likely. Stablemate Spifer also has claims despite a below-par run at Kempton last time, though Teolagi makes more appeal. The latter ran well for third in a hot handicap here last time finishing ahead of both Epic Battle and Star Links and should be in the mix again. Swing Alone and Chapter And Verse look a shade high in the weights on recent efforts.
