        Verdict

        Fast ground doesn't look ideal for recent Ballinrobe runner-up Diyala on the evidence of her earlier form. Lochiel was all out to win by a neck at Wolverhampton last time and a 6lb rise may scupper his chances of a hat-trick while Forrest Flyer ran a shocker at Ayr last time. Jan Smuts can be given a chance on his latest second at Ripon but Geanie Mac is hard to win with. SOHCAHTOA finished third to Dr Irv over track and trip in June. The latter has won twice again since then and off a 3lb lower mark today, Andrew Crook's charge gets the vote.
