        Verdict

        Volcanic Jack got off the mark over a longer trip here on Monday and Brendan Powell's claim takes care of most of the inevitable penalty. He must have every chance of following up as most of today's rivals have been woefully out of form. The exception is THE WONGA COUP, who won at Lingfield last month and was arguably given too much to do when third over C&D earlier this month. He may be the one as though Naledi was second over 1m4f here last month he's essentially a plater and was well beaten over hurdles subsequently. The others haven't done enough lately to warrant serious consideration.
