        Verdict

        Nicky Henderson sent out the smart Darlan to win this 12 months ago and has another interesting runner in the debutant PICTURE POST. By Mr Greeley out of a Storm Cat mare, the five-year-old is unlikely to be short of pace and can get off to a winning start. Cayman Kirk will probably need further in time but showed some ability at Stratford and may have more scope than Basford Ben and Saudi Pearl. Newcomer Florida Quays may be best of the rest.
