        Verdict

        ALAADEL (NAP) made a winning start in heavy ground at Doncaster last month and with the Haggas yard’s winners showing no sign of drying up, he gets the vote in this. Ower Fly has form on soft going and it would be no surprise to see a better effort from him dropping down in class while Fox Trotter continues to slide down the weights and could also figure. Goring still looks high in the weights but Fiftyshadesofgrey is back on a winning mark.
