      Verdict

      A dual winner in France, SMOKY HILL started life in this country last year rated 97. But he may have plummeted far enough down the weights now to get his back in front judged on a recent second at Doncaster and he gets the vote. Hope You Dance is usually thereabouts as she continues searching for a first win while Master Of Song is best on the all-weather and What A Party has not won since 2014. Theydon Bois is back on a winning mark but was well beaten here three weeks ago.
