        Verdict

        The three against the field are Wednesdays Girl, Jordan's Light and Moody Tunes with the vote going to the last named. The selection carries a five penalty for his latest success at Thirsk where he was following up on his win at Newcastle. He has performed well on all types of ground and although he carries top weight here connections are keen to get a run into him before he is reassessed. Wednesdays Girl ran well when finishing second on her seasonal reappearance at Wolverhampton last time out but improvement is needed once more. Jordan's Light is another horse who goes with a penalty after winning and beating Feelin Irie by a head at Musselburgh. The ground was on the easy side that day but will be much softer here and it remains to be seen how he will cope with such conditions so for the winner we return to Moody Tunes.
