      Verdict

      Emjayem may struggle but all of the remainder can be given a chance. Babyfact has won three times at the track and handles fast going while Go Amber Go is a course and distance winner and preferred to Archimedes, who went close at Doncaster last week but has only won once in a handicap before and that was at Southwell. SECRET AGENT has finished runner-up here either side of scoring at Salisbury. He failed to prevent Pastfact from completing a double last time but looks to have a slightly easier task today and gets the nod.
