        Verdict

        Voice Mail only won a small race at Bath last time but is the sort that could be getting his act together and might be worth a chance in an open contest. Ian Balding's string continue in good form and Voice Mail should relish this step up in trip. Hardrada is not out of it despite having to give plenty of weight away all round but will have disappointed supporters when a beaten favourite recently, whilst Cuddles who as well regarded last term would appear to have had her problems and showed little on a belated seasonal reappearance. Murzim has been in good form this year and ran another sound race last week so would have to be respected along with Alan Jarvis' It's Definite who ran a good second at HQ earlier in the month.
