        Verdict

        Lexington Place is another decent chance on the card for the Carr team as he arrives in winning form, is a course and distance winner and seems more or less guaranteed to run his race. None of his 10 career wins have come off a mark this high but he is still short-list material. However, MY NAME IS RIO is a useful sprinter at his best and he bounced back to form at Beverley on Saturday with a cheeky success - Michael Dods' speedster is worth sticking with under his 6lb penalty. Soul Brother wins in his turn but is not the easiest to catch right, with similar comments attributable to Rita's Boy.
