          Verdict

          Not a strong race to get the meeting underway, and most of these would be more at home in selling company. Mr Pertemps has been much improved on the All-Weather this year, winning on three of his four outings. He had obviously started the year a well-handicapped individual, but 18lbs higher now than when gaining the first of those victories, and that, along with the firm ground, may be enough to stop him. Last years winner Chorus will have no problems with the underfoot conditions as it was firm when she took this last year. Of more concern is this 8lbs higher mark. Boisdale is sure to be a popular choice and is still well treated, despite his penalty for winning at Southwell last week. However, as you would expected from a son of Common Grounds he is more at home with plenty of give underfoot. A chance is taken with the enigmatic Mr Stylish to turn around the Southwell form Boisdale. There should be little between them on these revised terms, but with Mr Stylish's ability to handle fast ground a major plus, he gets the vote.
