        Verdict

        HARRISON'S CAVE is the only one with recent winning form and, given it came over track and trip, Keith Dalgleish's charge can go in again. He beat a handful of these on that occasion with Latin Rebel finishing closest in fifth, though the well-beaten Schmooze has subsequently run better at Hamilton. Rockweiler will appreciate the soft ground but the longer trip may prove a problem while Ronald Gee is preferred to stablemate Grand Diamond.
