        Verdict

        A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many have would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Massey, Mickledor and Old Bailey and the tentative vote goes to Mickledor. The selection won well last time out when defeating Headland. Granted that was in a seller but with his stable still in good form he is taken to defy a penalty. Old Bailey rates the main danger on his best form but all his best form is on the AW and for that reason he is opposed.Massey is another worthy of respect he won well last time out when defeating Sober Jones and he returns to turf on a good mark so he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Bundy is sure to have the race run to suit while Sharoura is from a yard in form but looks to have plenty of weight. So in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Mickledor.
