      Verdict

      VALDAN is our recommendation though Lyceana and Action Impact are likely to be popular. The recent Lingfield winner accounted for some in-form types on that occasion and as a previous course and distance winner, he can make use of receiving weight from all around. Lyceana was a tad disappointing last time out but she was outpaced at one stage and the decision to step up in trip appears a sound one. Action Impact made hay from a mark of 50 over the late summer. He could still be progressing though his latest run suggests him to be more than a little vulnerable off today's mark. Sign Of Fortune won a Kempton claimer but has struggled outside of that sphere. Munich and Dream Of Fortune might just need a little more assistance from the handicapper. Valdan gets the nod.
