        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence. SHARP BULLET has a poor strike rate but earns the vote on his second to Doc Hay over C&D last month when he had today's rivals Tournedos and Argentine behind. That form also gives him the beating of Wicked Wilma and Bruce Hellier's charge is preferred to Sparking, who saves his best for Wolverhampton. Mandarin Spirit and Autocracy continue to slide down the weights without showing any improvement.
