        Verdict

        Louphole can get his head in front at the expense of Caustic Wit, Witchry and Blessed Place. The selection has finished third in each of his last three races and looked good when one length behind Caustic Wit at Windsor last time out. He was only beaten one length that day and the fact that the weights are now in his favour he can reverse the placings this time around. Witchry looks to be an improver and comes from a yard that likes a flutter. His form does look modest though but is worth noting in the market as is Blessed Place who caught the eye at Salisbury last time out when third behind Intriguing Glimpse. He has to be on the short list but for the winner we return to Louphole.
