        Verdict

        Thaqaffa won last year’s renewal but finished behind runner-up Technological at Wolverhampton last month when the latter was beaten five lengths. Red Force One won three times last year and has switched yards subsequently. He’s 7lb higher than when last successful and VILLETTE is preferred given she had little chance in Listed company at Lingfield last time but should make a bold bid back at this level having won over 1m2f here on her penultimate start. Wimpole Hall is regularly placed and novice winner Galactic Spirit has plenty of scope on his reappearance and handicap debut.
