        Verdict

        Pop Favorite was winning here for the fourth time when successful earlier in the month. But he was partnered by a 5lb claimer on that occasion and the runner-up ROYAL PROSPECT is taken to turn the tables on more favourable terms. Mr Heinz won over track and trip recently and the second had earlier beaten Bold Territories and Antagonize here while Ice Shadow and Raffles Rebel drop down in distance.
