        Verdict

        Ben, Primed And Poised and Blandys Wood are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Primed And Poised. The selection was a fair third behind Baffled last time out, that form has since been franked and with more improvement likely he looks a value bet. Ben rates the main danger on his best form but he is more exposed than most and again he looks vulnerable. Blasndys Wood is another that could go well as he was a fair seventh on his debut behind Lindoro, he is sure to improve but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Synge Street is a well bred type from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to Primed And Poised.
