        Verdict

        A headscratcher for punters and one headache that can be resolved by Loop The Loup although Spitting Image and Gabor could prove the dangers. Loup The Loup is an out-and-out stayer and it was a difficult decision for us to split the Reveley pairing on balance. However, we feel that the trip at Leicester was very much on the sharp side for him and that today's two mile trip will bring about the best in him. Spitting Image is a winner over this trip and handles fast ground but his Beverley run was truly awful and this overrides many of those positives. Gabor is a thorough rogue of the highest order. He would rate spots above these had he the right attitude to the game. Bernard Llewellyn has been doing well this term with others' castoffs so once again, the market is watched. Sadler's Cove reportedly broke a blood vessel during his last outing. He stayed this trip well enough on the artificial surfaces and might be best of the rest. Stylish Sunrise did achieve a rating of 70 when with Michael Bell but has achieved little for new connections. Loop The Loup has fewest negatives against his name and is selected accordingly.
