      Verdict

      Zugzwang went close at Chester in September off a similar mark and may get involved but the returning Sunny Future needs further nowadays having ended last season with a victory over 1m5f here. SECULAR SOCIETY (NAP) returned to action with a second at Kempton last month and can race off a 4lb lower mark back on this surface. Neither Dandy nor Saint Helena make any appeal off their current marks so the vote goes to George Baker's charge in this.
