      Verdict

      Spoof was closing down the winner at Haydock on Saturday but had only half-a-length to spare over ELEGANT ERIN at Hamilton in August and is 3lb worse off. The latter can reverse the form and register another win for the in-form Paul Midgley yard. Above won at Newmarket two runs ago while Fantasy Master is a standing dish here and will have the ground in his favour again. He very nearly won for the fourth time at the track last week when only worn down close home. Desert Games had the worst of the draw when fourth at Goodwood and will be a danger if the blinkers work a second time.
