      Verdict

      THE GIPPER is impossible to oppose as Adam Wedge's mount would probably have been chasing a four-timer had he not fallen at the last here in December when in front. Worthwhile form is thin on the ground among his six rivals but Bennys King is probably capable of better, though his long-term future will be over fences. Zadok is another with a bit of scope.
