        Verdict

        SIR BENEDICT finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring at Hamilton to end a long losing run. He remains on a winning mark and has placed over this longer trip in the past. Golden Apollo has yet to win over this far in twelve previous attempts while Shuv H'penny King is fitted with headgear having finished runner-up over a longer trip at Newmarket. Typical Man has undergone wind surgery and a hood is applied in the hope of a return to form.
