      Verdict

      Nycteos gets the vote here with Launde and Key Phil rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Matthew Moroto and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper before going on to better things. Launde rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Depth Perception but this looks more competitive and his penalty may find him out. Key Phil is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but again he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Both Walcot Lad and Macmar look weighted up to there best and for the winner we return to the progressive Nycteos.
