      Verdict

      Claire Underwood won over the extended 1m4f here in May and has continued to perform with credit in similar grade. ALRIGHT SUNSHINE, a triple bumper winner, has done well to score twice over 1m4f including on this track so today's trip should bring out the best in him and he'll be difficult to beat. Dragons Voice is tackling the trip for the first time but won comfortably over 1m4f at Windsor and was then staying on over that trip at Thirsk. Archie Watson sends Ulster on the long journey from Lambourn and the four-year-old, whose only two victories have been at Kempton, is taking a drop in class after two runs at Ascot. Jabbaar is generally consistent but is 7lb higher than his last victory at Chester in May last year.
