      Verdict

      PIAZON has been expertly placed to score nine times in 57 starts and loves it around here. He was conceding Gorgeous General a stone when beaten just over a length on his penultimate start and with Paul Hanagan taking over from an apprentice can gain victory number ten. Toni's A Star is another with a superb strike-rate for a moderate performer and gained his tenth victory on his 53rd start at Wolverhampton though he's only run here twice and didn't show much on either occasion. Astraea won at Newcastle in December but didn't run as well on a return visit and hasn't shown much in two starts here. Fly True won over 6f here in November and seems best at that trip.
