    Verdict

    The consistent Bold Ewar deserves to win more races and comes here as the TEAMtalk selection. He is the only horse in the field who is guaranteed stayer and should have too much class for this moderate field. The lightly-raced Bobby Kennard will be worth a look in the market while Irish Distinction put in one of his best performances last time out and will go well if acting on this surface. The rest are moderate at best.
