      Verdict

      Robert Cowell saddles two in this but it looks like PARADISE PLACE is his best hope of landing the prize. Frankie Dettori's mount is 9lb higher than when scraping home at Wolverhampton at the start of the month but that was a massive step up on anything she achieved last year and the filly may be capable of better. Johnny Hancocks, fourth at Musselburgh on Saturday, looks beatable again here while Novabridge has more to do than when beating Dangerous Illusion in a Folkestone seller so Wolverhampton second My Love Fajer and Pineapple Pete may be best of the rest, though the latter finished last at Catterick after winning at Nottingham.
