      Verdict

      The three to look out for here are Oporto, Keep Bacckinhit and Odessa Star with the vote going to the last named. A winner at Wolverhampton last time out when beating Cape Win Odessa Star can only improve on that run and if doing so will take all the beating once again. Oporto will pose as the biggest danger to the selection as he looked good when winning at Woverhampton on his penultimate start but looked exposed at Windsor last time out. Any market support should be noted. Keep Bacckinhit steps up to the mile after running so well over seven furlongs last time out. That ought to suit him as he was staying on when acting around the track so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Odessa Star.
