        Verdict

        Tor did well last season but has paid the price with his handicap mark this year and was behind Gabrial's King over a longer trip here last month. Richard Fahey’s nine-year-old is a regular visitor here and is overdue another win but Leicester second Tomahawk Kid is a danger if staying the extra quarter-mile. ROAR will be all the better for a pipe-opener at Windsor and has been dropped a couple of pounds – this should be his trip this season. Lorelina has run poorly in a couple of races at Epsom this year and needs to rediscover her best form but Envoy won at Windsor in April and Tawdeea should be able to take advantage of a tumbling mark in the near future.
