      Verdict

      This looks tricky with just half a stone separating the field and all are possibles. By a process of elimination, Breccbennach may need this first run since October and Agerzam seems to reserve his best for the all-weather these days. It's hard to separate the claims of Silverrica and Edged Out, both of whom are course regulars, whilst Ada Lovelace has yet to achieve back-to-back successes, although she was impressive at Brighton last time when making all and is expected to post a strong showing. Thus we will go with ARCHIE STEVENS who receives weight all round, always seems to run his race and arrives in good heart on the back of a series of solid performances, notably a comfortable Newbury success on his penultimate start.
