        Verdict

        CLASSIC VINTAGE is preferred to Miss Sophisticat and Wilbury Star. Official figures suggest that the selection has no easy task at the weights but with so little for the handicapper to work with they can only be a guideline and Amanda Perrett's charge is taken to make sufficient improvement to enable him to give weight away all round. He left his debut form behind to run on strongly to win a Sandown maiden over a mile and the form is working out nicely with a couple of winners coming out of the race already. They include the second who was trained by Mick Channon and thus it will be interesting to see if there's any confidence behind Midnight Bay who is the potential fly in the ointment. Wilbury Star's level of improvement appears to have levelled out and he will need to improve for the step up to a mile but it's a concern that he can race a shade keenly. That could leave Miss Sophisticat as the biggest danger but she lacks a change of gear in the closing stages and may have to play the bridesmaid to Classic Vintage
