        Verdict

        Getaway Car won a minor Salisbury handicap and would have scored more convincingly but for edging right close home. Dolphin Village steps up to this trip for the first time but was staying on strongly at Haydock so shouldn't have a problem nor should Hasheem, who was impressive in landing a Newcastle maiden. Bin Singspiel makes his handicap debut and, after looking a bit one paced over 1m2f at Yarmouth, is another who will be well suited by this trip. GOOD SPEECH was caught close home over Beverley's stiff 1m4f by Lion Beacon, who has since boosted the form when successful in a much better race at Sandown, so it's Tom Tate's charge who looks the one to be on.
