      Verdict

      Fitness may be an issue in this with Double Kodiac and Dragon Sun both lacking a recent run. The former disappointed when last seen at Doncaster last summer while the latter is 5lb out of the handicap. Smile A Mile has placed the last twice but is still seeking a first victory on the all-weather. Nonios is proven on track and in this grade but is best over 1m2f. Greatest Journey should strip fitter for his fourth over course and distance but SPIRIT WARNING (NAP) looks the one to be on as he finished a close second here last week in a higher grade and is only a pound higher.
