        Verdict

        Another open affair in which many have chances on there best form but the confident vote goes to Grecian Star. The selection won well when defeating Maggies Brother over a similar trip at Huntington last time and if the ground remains on the fast side he will be hard to beat. Bright Approach rates the main danger hew has been in fair form of late and he has shown form over this sort of trip but the concession of seven pounds to Grecian Star may just find him out. Woodlands Beau is another in form but the more rain the better for him. Of the remainder Top Of The Charts is worth a cautionary look in the market with leading armature Christian Williams taking the ride.
