      Verdict

      AVONROSE landed a competitive small-field Fibresand handicap last time after dropping to a more workable all-weather mark. However, he's also a winner here and looks the one to beat having rediscovered his form. The booking of Philip Makin, in the plate for that Southwell success, strengthens confidence. Course and distance winner, City Legend, looks a major threat however, having battled on bravely to claim a dead-heat success in a recent Lingfield handicap. J R Hartley is an interesting candidate too as he has some more than useful Fibresand form to his name and will be a danger to all if able to translate that level to Polytrack. Viva Ronaldo also showed enough when a decent fourth here last time behind Tislaam to merit serious consideration.
