    Verdict

    Gazbooloo, Captain Jackspara and Tartan Tie are three against the field in a competitive opener and the vote is given to Gazbooloo. The selection was a fair second behind Big Timer last time out, that form looks rock solid and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Captain Jackspara rates the main danger on his debut fourth behind Ebn Remm, he is sure to improve and with his yard in good form he should be noted in the market. Tartan Tie is another that could go well on his debut third behind Valebenny but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip. Of the remainder Massive ran better than his finishing position would suggest last time and is another that will improve but in a race where the market will be informative for the winner we return to Gazbooloo.
