Verdict

SACRED CHORD (5) was far from his best last time in town when failing to run on. His two runs prior were full of merit and if he can recapture that form he will manage these. BULLS ON PARADE (11) has been building and could be ready to hit his straps now and break a long run of outs. Gets in well with the 4lbs claimer sticking and should work into the race beautifully from the draw. Big threat. ZE BIRDS'N'ZEBEES (8) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 6f at this track last time out. Winning rider Rochelle Milnes sticks. Among the leading chances. BELMONT AVENUE (4) will get a long way back from the car park draw but can cause a late scare of the pace is genuine. MIDNIGHT RULER (2) is knocking on the door and is worth including.
