      Verdict

      Four of the seven runners are course and distance winners. The Dandy Yank has steadily climbed the weights since gaining the first of his four Polytrack victories here last January and is now 10lb higher. But he finished in front of Pearl Noir when a close third at Chelmsford last week and should do so again. DISHY GURU (NAP) has gained all of his five Polytrack victories on this track and very nearly made it number six when just failing to overhaul Clearing last month. He could have done without a 2lb rise but has won from higher on Turf and can carry his big weight to another success. Pharoh Jake is another who has done brilliantly here and a victory looked imminent when he was just outbattled by Quality Art three weeks ago. Vincentti has some strong form on Turf but hasn't quite put it all together so far on the all-weather.
