      Verdict

      It's on to the Polytrack course for the last two races and EXCHANGE can take the first of those. It was no surprise to see him struggle in a decent handicap at Newmarket a fortnight ago as all four wins this year have been in claimers, including a victory on this surface. Andrew Haynes' charge should come out best again here given Danceyourselfdizzy has gone off the boil and it's anybody's guess how the inconsistent Sky Diamond will run. Piccarello has shown nothing to recommend him so far this season and the rest are up against it on today's terms.
