VERDANT PLACE has improved with each run since being switched to handicaps and can complete the hat-trick with further progress likely. Seabank Bistro is worth another chance on handicap bow having been outclassed in the Albert Bartlett last time, with Western Walk another to consider after an impressive debut win for this stable.
