      Verdict

      UNFORGIVING MINUTE has a formidable record here and, though rated 6lb lower than Ballard Down, can get the better of David O’Meara’s charge having been in better form this year. Murdanova has plenty to find at the weights but could be the each-way option ahead of veteran Loyalty if all of them stand their ground. The Lamplighter has won on Polytrack but is having a first run on this surface.
