        Verdict

        HIGHLAND PREMIERE failed to threaten the winner when third in a higher grade at Chester a week ago but was beaten only a length at York before that. He gets the vote back at this level. Real Terms returned to action with a victory over a longer trip at Carlisle while Life On The Rocks won over today’s trip at Ayr before failing to figure at Hamilton. Equion is less exposed than most and is preferred to both Ghost Rider and the returning Virgo.
