      Verdict

      Wilyn gets the vote to score at the third time of asking. Atephobia and Alpen Adventure make it to the shortlist. The selection ran well on debut given his massive price (66/1) and then ran well in defeat next time up. The step up in trip today looks sure to suit as he appears to have been slightly outpaced towards the business end of the races so far. Richardthesecond and Bohobe are both potential improvers having made satisfactory debuts, however of more interest may be Atephobia. Karl Burke's runner also steps up a furlong in trip today and he looks as if he'll continue to improve with time and experience. Alpen Adventure is the most exposed of these but has shown a modicum of ability, whilst Bahamian Gift is a newcomer to watch for market support. A toughie for punters, however Willyn gets the tentative vote.
