Verdict

CERTIFICATE made a bold bid on his handicap debut at Windsor but came up just short. The least exposed of these, he can confirm running with Set The Trend and land this. A runner-up here last time, Pleasure Bent is weighted to turn the tables with Desert Ranger, but Never To Be is having his first start since finishing second at Kempton in March. Subtle Knife's long losing run continues though she has finally dropped back to a winning mark.
