      Verdict

      A couple of these have won this before and have the advantage of a decent draw. MUSHARRIF has been threatening a return to winning ways with good recent efforts over course and distance and is preferred to 2017 winner Sheepscar Lad, who finished third last year ahead of Van Gerwen. The latter and stablemate Gamesome have drawn high along with Thirsk novice winner Spring Bloom and East Street Revue while Birkenhead finished behind the selection when fifth here last time.
