        Verdict

        It is very hard to go against Court Of Appeal in a race of this nature and he is selected a confident choice in this company. Yawmi and Weet A Head can throw down strong challenges, while Pont Neuf has to be respected with Robert Winston doing the steering. This season's leading rider appears to know every blade of grass on this undulating course and his mount will not be found wanting for a assistance from the saddle. However, Pont Neuf, like a few of the others, has been struggling to find his form of late and others may have his measure when it really matters. Weet A Head likes to get on with things and is a prime candidate to cut out the early running. Still, he has only won a single race from twenty previous starts under both codes and hardly leaps from the page as a confident betting proposition. Yawmi is far less exposed and has claims on the bets of his form. He was not beaten far in a better race than this at York 10 days ago and looks to be the best alternative here. Nevertheless, Court Of Appeal bolted up over course and distance last month and, as he obviously loves his racing at Catterick, this course specialist can add to his haul today.
