      Verdict

      This looks a really difficult start to the day for punters with the draw sure to be a major factor in this big field. Coming out of stall five, PINTURA can have no complaints, however, and wouldn't be far away if reproducing the form of his second to Light From Mars in the Spring Cup at Newbury last month when Lowther was third. Joseph Henry made all at Thirsk on his reappearance but may struggle to get to the front here from stall 10, while Lucky Numbers has more to do than when winning over 6f at Ripon last month. Kyllachy Star and San Cassiano are both edging towards a decent mark but have outside draws to contend with here, as do Dundalk third Captain Ramius and the lightly-raced Ivory Jazz.
