      Verdict

      FAIR VALUE finished ahead of Top Cop in a competitive handicap at Epsom last Saturday and re-opposes on much better terms here. Simon Dow's mare should open her account for the season here. Barons Spy and Forest Edge both normally run well here but have plenty to find at the weights, as do Burning Thread and Nasri. Jake The Snake only won a seller at Wolverhampton in April and is likely to find a few of these too speedy.
