        Verdict

        FOXY MUSIC has won twice over 5f here and had Lexi's Hero and Doctor Parkes behind when runner-up at this track in May. It could be his turn again today. Mayoman has been in fine form this season winning three times and can figure again while Excel Bolt could get involved if quickly away from his low draw. Mappin Time's recent win at Haydock came on firm ground and he wouldn't want anymore rain while Jedward is another to consider in a hard to predict sprint.
