      Verdict

      A decline in fortunes sees stablemates Fol Hollow and Saucy Brown dropped in grade and it's hard to know what to expect from Dandy Nicholls' duo here. However, ESPRIT DE MIDAS was winning a handicap off a mark of 85 as recently as September last year and, despite being well beaten at Southwell recently, will find life much easier in this company. Kevin Ryan's charge gets the nod with the remaining trio hard to fancy on today's terms, though Go Go Green looks to have the best chance of them.
