      Verdict

      It's a bit of a surprise that Jason Maguire has chosen Cartmel winner Constant Contact ahead of ABSINTHE, who ran a cracker when fourth to Local Hero in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen last month when The Tiddly Tadpole and Alazan were both behind. Adrian Lane's mount can bounce back to winning ways here. Changing The Guard could be found out in this grade from out of the handicap so First In The Queue may be best of the rest despite pulling up at Punchestown in April when last seen.
