        Verdict

        Hay Fever may be able to put his racecourse experience to good use and claim the honours in the opener. As ever, the market should help point the way to the chances of the newcomers, of whom Sonhador, Langs Lash, Lucky Punt and Astroleo are four of the more interesting ones although runners from the Channon yard can never be ruled out either. The selection finished a couple of lengths behind Multi Tasker last time but that one had the benefit of a prior run and we're hopeful that the form can be reversed. There were plenty of well touted horses in the line-up so the form could turn out to be reasonable and Eve Johnson-Houghton's runner should be all the better for the run. This trip is a slight concern as he's bred to stay further but he'll be sharper now and Hay Fever is the pick.
