        Verdict

        Plenty of guesswork with a whole host of contenders making their handicap debuts. Top weight Raven's Raft and Golden Eagle are interesting, while W G Grace might be an improver over this trip for his powerful yard. Jan's Joy is another to catch the eye, but the choice is SILVER BULLET , who hails from a yard which does well in this type of contest and could be about to show improvement in a first-time visor.
