        Verdict

        Having been caught in the shadow of the post on his two latest starts, OPT OUT can finally get his reward over this sharp track, possibly ridden with a little more restraint. Barracuda Boy attracted major support on his first two starts so is obviously well regarded and he did better behind Forray at Leicester last time. Kicken Off will probably attempt to make all along with the selection and Danny Brook's claim will be a bonus. He was conceding 5lb to Belle Intrigue when beaten a short-head over the C&D last month and will be receiving weight from that rival here. Windforpower has a penalty to contend with for last week's victory on Polytrack at Lingfield and Lawful has yet to race over the minimum trip.
