        Verdict

        Most of these appear to have gone off the boil but Bellagio Man scored here in September and As If By Chance won at Nottingham in September. Razzam and Thaki were both winning during the summer but MISTY BLUES posted her best effort of the year so far when placed over track and trip and gets the vote off her current mark. Giogiobbo was in good form last year and makes a belated reappearance.
