Verdict

The vote goes to VERONA STAR, who returned to form following a string of below par efforts off this reduced mark when third over C&D recently. Lion's Dream doesn't always help himself by pulling hard but he put in a decent shift at Doncaster last time and he went close on his sole previous visit here off an 11 lb higher mark in February. Last-time-out winners Showtime Mahomes and Abruzzo Mia also command respect.
