        Verdict

        The booking of Tony McCoy for Jeruflo is more than enough to give the Paul Webber-trained eight-year-old the vote over Diorama and Pepeta here. The Glacial Storm mare has gone well when fresh in the past and is set to encounter her favoured ground for her return. And the fact that Webber has been very patient in building her career looks set to reap more dividends with the champion jockey in the plate. Diorama needs the heavens to open to have his claims enhanced so Pepeta is taken to give the selection the most to do. Force Twelve should also find a race in time and could go well for each way players - but he has a little to find with Jeruflo and looks set for only a minor role here.
