        Verdict

        Grey Destiny’s winning run came to end over 7f here last month and he has a bit to find on collateral form with Steal The Scene, third over track and trip durng the week. Critical Thinking won here recently and could go well again despite a 4lb rise but both Caledonia Laird and Prancing Oscar are returning from a lay-off. DEREK DUVAL (NAP) has a recent run under his belt when third in a higher grade at Kempton. He looks ready to take advantage of a slide down the weights on that showing and gets the vote.
