      Verdict

      Indian Affair ended a barren spell when successful over track and trip last month. But he was all out to win by only a head and is upped 4lb. Rafaat keeps threatening to score but still found one too good when partnered by Rob Hornby on his penultimate start and Black Truffle is another usually thereabouts without winning. Kuanyao has not won over today's trip since 2010 so a chance is taken on THE HAPPY HAMMER returning to winning ways on the back of a better effort at Chelmsford last time.
