        Verdict

        IMPERIAL ACT and Casey Banter filled the places when Nicky Baby won one of these lowly events over track and trip last time. But the runner-up re-opposes on more favourable terms today and Andrew Balding’s charge gets the vote to turn the tables. Casey Banter should also be in the mix again while Ainne won over 7f at Kempton in between woeful efforts and Dragon Kuza may improve for today’s application of blinkers.
