        Verdict

        Shebang, Benllech and Brenin Gwalia are three against the field in a trappy opener and the narrow vote is given to Benllech. The selection was a fair fourth behind Disco Dan last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and from a good draw he looks a value bet. Shebang rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind I'm Right especially as this shorter trip should suit and he should be noted in the market. Brenin Gwallia is another that could go well on his latest second behind Another True Story but he has had plenty of chances without taking one in similar races and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Straight Face is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but in a race where the market will be very informitive for the winner we return to Benllech to small stakes.
