      Verdict

      Blacktoft, Credential and Zed Candy are the ones to concentrate on here, and last time out winner Blacktoft is taken to defy top weight. Credential only needed to be pushed out to score over the course and distance two outings ago before finishing second over a slightly longer trip here last time. Today's trip is more in his favour and he can go well. Zed Candy has won two of his last three starts, both over the course and distance, although his most recent effort was below par. He is taken on because of that. Blacktoft won in game style last time at Lingfield over a furlong shorter trip. He needed every yard that day and this extra furlong should suit. He is seven pounds higher, but is consistent, and Blacktoft can score again.
