      Verdict

      The vote here goes to Little Eye, with Muzdaherha and Almizan possibly proving to be his main rivals. Little Eye proved his liking for this track when winning over a slightly shorter trip last time and, having shown that he can handle good to soft, looks set to go well in this interesting heat. Redi is entitled to have improved from three to four, although he lacks a recent run, while a return to his best Flat form of two years ago gives recent hurdling winner Almizan claims. Muzdaherha's solid second to Azizam at Redcar last time affords him respect but just about all of the others have the 'something to prove now' label against them. The percentage call, therefore, is to side with more recent form and side with Little Eye.
