Verdict

Having dropped to a handy mark, WHAT'S THE STORY ran well back on turf after 10 weeks off when third at Hamilton 8 days ago and he can build on that and return to winning ways. Five-time course winner Detective could be the biggest threat back down in trip, while Alazwar is the pick of the remainder with his reappearance run behind him.
