        Verdict

        Silvestre De Sousa and SWILLY SUNSET bid for a hat-trick having teamed-up to win at both Yarmouth and Brighton last month. He beat Carcharias over four lengths at Brighton and is taken to defy a penalty. Chicago Star won over 7f here recently and Fair Selene has been placed over the same distance on her last three starts now. Pick A Little is a dual course and distance winner and can bounce back at any time of his current mark.
