      Verdict

      Aussie Valentine reappeared last season with a superb run in the Irish Lincolnshire where he was just touched off. That will be his target again though he should be close to his best. Multiculture ran poorly at Naas on his final start in July and will need much more but the remaining trio look closely matched. HAT ALNASAR just held on from Split The Atom over 7f here a fortnight ago and though the runner-up is 2lb better off the winner is more at home over this extra furlong and can confirm the form. Reckless Lad was behind the selection last week but wasn't beaten far and that should have sharpened him up after a break so he can get even closer.
