    Verdict

    Dapper Man has won off higher marks but has not been at his best this term. Global Humor has been beaten in lesser races in two of his last three starts but BIRKENHEAD beat a big field in a Class 4 at York last time and Alex Fielding’s claim takes care of a 4lb rise. He appears to have the beating of Eeh Bah Gum on that form.
