      Verdict

      William Buick is fighting Oisin Murphy for the Flat jockeys’ title but the defending champion may win this round. The latter partners NATURAL PATH (NAP), who bids for a hat-trick having won a couple of higher-grade sprints and is only 3lb higher today. Buick takes over the reins on Raasel, who has beaten both Hey Mr and Equality in the process of landing a double and has been raised 5lb for last month’s course and distance success. Lipsink popped-up at 50/1 when scoring at Chelmsford while Wrenthorpe bids to win this for the third time though it was testing ground on both previous occasions. The veteran Tropics can race off a much lower mark back on Turf having last won on this surface way back in 2015.
