        Verdict

        Castilo Del Diablo is looking to go one better than last year and when runner-up to Ridgeway Storm and is 2lb lower. Haines has been raised 4lb after finishing second over 2m in this grade at Wolverhampton while Cotton Club is upped in class having won over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time. But HAMELIN makes most appeal back in a handicap having faced tough tasks behind the likes of Fire Fighting and Anglophile in conditions races and he gets the nod to confirm latest running with Flashman. Highland Castle has a shout on his fourth over today's trip at Ascot in July while Gavlar landed a double over course and distance in August but in lower Class 4 company.
