        Verdict

        Aside from a poor performance at Ripon earlier this month, Scale Force hasn’t run a bad race since the turn of the year. Hanakotoba can be forgiven her run over 6f here last time and has claims on the pick of her form. Mr Buttons is rarely beaten far but hasn’t won since making his debut on Fibresand last year, though gets cheekpieces today. TEXTING is preferred, however, as the drop back to 5f should suit given he’s been very keen racing over a furlong further. Invincible Larne is also unexposed and can’t be ignored.
