        Verdict

        Ursa Minor returned a disappointing favourite once again on his latest start here and has been subsequently gelded. Headgear is also applied today but IMPERIAL COMMAND arrives in good heart having won two of his last three outings at the track and is taken to defy a 5lb rise given the ease of his latest success. Both Ulshaw Bridge and Red Poppy scored over track and trip at the end of last year with the former looking the more favourably handicapped while Asdaa went close at Southwell recently and Silver Dust finished runner-up at Kempton.
