      Verdict

      Kiama Bay is easily the highest rated of these and eased in grade but he'll have to do much better than in his three runs to date this term. Changing The Guard was beaten twice in sellers last summer and has his first start since October so we'll take a chance on IT'S A MANS WORLD. Better ground will suit Brian Ellison's charge, who went close in a claimer at Huntingdon in the autumn and finished close up in a much stronger race at Ayr around this time last year. The Scourge would have claims on his best form and is preferred to Southwell scorer Goal of the others.
