      Verdict

      Captain Lars easily has the call on official figures though he failed to take advantage in a similar race over 7f here last time and could be worth opposing at likely short odds. IXELLES DIAMOND has had 24 starts in her career but has never raced on an artificial surface. This will be her first start at this level and her form on Turf in the summer gives her a chance. Breakheart won a Class 5 handicap at Kempton in March and, though he hasn't scored since, he has been reasonably consistent in handicaps. The remainder may struggle, even in this lowly grade.
