        Verdict

        Web Perceptions, After Eight and Boing Boing are all shortlist material here, but the vote goes to Barneys Lyric. The selection is steadily rising in the weights and is taking a step up in class but has taken to the jumping game like a duck to water and he was an easy winner at Perth last time. He is sure to take a good deal of beating here, but there are a plethora of dangers in the field. Boing Boing sprung a surprise to beat Frank Jordan's Libre at Stratford last time, and this gelding may be capable of making a bold attempt to follow up that success. Web Perceptions is another that is in good heart at present and he should go well, but he made hard work of beating Sunray at Chepstow last time and this looks a more difficult assignment. After Eight is the one to note in the market as this newcomer could be the one to beat if he is supported. The assistance of AP McCoy is another added bonus. This is not an easy race to fathom, but we will take a chance on Barneys Lyric.
