      Verdict

      Most of these would be happier with a set of hurdles to tackle but Callisto Moon likes it here and both Sunny Future and Stormy Morning are also past winners at the track. The latter was a long way behind SALONTYRE at Chepstow last month, however, and it's difficult to see how Stan Moore's charge can reverse that running on only 3lb better terms. Bernard Llewellyn's five-year-old was only beaten a short-head at the Welsh track and was in good form over timber during the winter. He gets the vote, though Praxiteles won over hurdles at Stratford in May and possibly found 1m3f too sharp at Carlisle last month.
