      Verdict

      This isn't a deep contest by any stretch of the imagination with three of the protagonists standing head and shoulders above the rest of the field in form terms. Sable Island is the highest rated in the field but he has had plenty of chances and might not be one to take a short price about and Hats Off To Larry and SCOTTSDALE are preferred at the likely prices with the dual bumper winner being the suggestion.
