        Verdict

        Raymonds Pride can land this at the expense of Paris Bell and Rising Shadow. The selection is trained by Kevin Ryan who is having a great run at present and Raymonds Pride showed signs of coming back to his best when an eye catching second to Jonstones Diomond at Thirsk last time out with Paris Bell back in third place and would not have to improve much to win this. Rising Shadow will be the biggest danger to the selection having finished second at York on his latest start. He had been outclassed against better company of late but now dropped in grade he is worth noting in the market. Byron Bay enters calculations on his recent form but he is a better all weather horse and was slightly disappointing at Musselburgh last time out so is best watched today. So for the winner we return to Raymonds pride.
