        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence but SCRUTINY finished runner-up in a claiming race at Newcastle last week and this is not much tougher. Tin Pan Alley was beaten over six lengths when also placed at Newcastle but still finished ahead of Chief Executive and Diddy Eric while Act Your Shoe Size should finish closer back in this lower grade. Testa Rossa scored over track and trip last year but on fast ground while Act Your Shoe Size looked to have a better chance here yesterday.
