        Verdict

        Birdie Birdie, Shandelight and Flamestone are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Birdie Birdie. The selection was a fair fifth last time out behind Mick Is Back, the booking of Eddie Ahern catches the eye and the step up in trip also in his favour. He looks the one to be on. Shandelight rates the main danger in his latest fourth behind Mountain Climb. However the fact that connections already go for cheekpieces is off putting and he is taken on with this in mind. Flamestone is another that could go well on his best form but he looked far from straightforward last time and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Don Pasquale is from an in-form yard and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Birdie Birdie who looks sure to run his race.
