      Verdict

      A race complicated by the fact that ORPENINDEED was engaged to run in a similar contest at Wolverhampton yesterday. However, he remains the one to beat on these terms if taking his chance. Vhujon looks most likely to take advantage if he doesn't turn up. He's been in fine form at Kempton of late, winning a claimer in good style there last week. Cape Melody's absence may count against her, but Elhamri and Harlech Castle have been running well without winning recently. Quick Single has little chance on these terms however.
