      Verdict

      SMIDGEN has to be forgiven a below par effort at Wolverhampton but made all at the same track before that. He may well bounce back in this given Gigawatt has done his winning over 7f so far and all of Lupo D'Oro's three victories have been over the minimum trip. Perfect Pastime ended last year with a win at Windsor and is 6lb higher on his return to action while Little Big Man has a longer absence to overcome having won over 7f here back in April.
