      Verdict

      Difficult to be confident about any of these but OSTENTATION scored at Lingfield in March and is back on the same mark. He gets the token vote ahead Potentiale who never looked like catching the winner when second over C&D last time. Rigid is hard to predict but scored at Kempton earlier this year and could figure if in the mood while Putin has a habit of popping up when least expected and cannot be easily dismissed on the back of a second to Brown Pete, who is entered in the previous race.
