        Verdict

        Vadinka can land this opener at the expense of Chasing Memories and Giant Slalom. The selection has been in tremendous form this autumn and has been nothing but consistent without getting his head in front. His latest effort over a furlong shorter when second to Mac Gille Eoin was a creditable effort and with this slightly longer trip likely to suit he has to be short listed to break his maiden tag. Chasing Memories is another to note and was in great form this term before disappointing last time out at Southwell. If back to his best he is sure to put in a bold bid. As is Giant Slalom who ran a blinder on his debut on turf at Pontefract only to disappoint last time out. Any market support should be noted but for the winner we return to Vadinka.
