      Verdict

      The four to have run have shown promise to some degree or other. Al Dancer has a first run for the Twiston-Davies yard and a repeat of his Ffos Las debut would see him go close whilst Landofsmiles debuts for Peter Bowen after showing respectable form in the point-to-point arena. My Lady Grey was prominent until fading on debut and the combination of that experience and the return to form of the Tizzard team brings her into the equation. She's the one to check in the market, along with the two newcomers. However, INHERITANCE THIEF has shown good form on both bumper starts and a repeat of that level would make him hard to beat, especially if a subsequent wind operation has proved beneficial.
