      Verdict

      Cill Droichead looked a difficult ride when winning here on Wednesday and is opposed under his penalty, while Cruise Director will find this much harder than the 0-70 he won here earlier this month. Pretence is open to improvement, but the handicapper looks to have taken no chances with him. It is interesting that connections have decided to leave off the visor which he has worn on both outings to date. High Reach is clearly going the right way and although he is 6lbs higher for his recent win, there looks to be more to come. However, the one they all have to beat is Satelcom, who be well suited by the return to this trip having found seven-furlongs an inadequate test. Noel Chance's colt has been a model of consistency of late and is taken to regain the winning thread.
