      Verdict

      This year's 'Horn Blower' can go to Prime Delivery ahead of Lakeman. The last-named has plenty to find on official ratings, however he handles this ground well and so cannot be discounted with more rain forecast. The selection however sets the standard from a form point of view and drops in class today. He wasn't beaten too far in Group Two company at HQ earlier in the season and with the drop in trip in his favour he can get back to winning ways. Zuzu is unexposed, as is Deadly Secret; the latter was only beaten by three lengths in a Group Two last time and must be afforded utmost respect if handling the ground. The newcomers may be pretty decent if they are making their debuts in this race, however we will stick with Prime Delivery.
