    Verdict

    Dark Trooper won on Tapeta and Polytrack in January but hasn’t managed a victory on Turf so far whereas SCHOLARSHIP ploughed through the mud to make a winning reappearance at Newbury three weeks ago. He also won on debut last year so there is a fear that he is best caught fresh but he is proven at this level. Racingbreaks Ryder is on a four-timer and will also handle conditions so looks a threat while Beverley winner In These Shoes can’t be left out of calculations. Tawafag, however, faces no easy task on handicap debut and Oj Lifestyle lacks a recent run.
