          Verdict

          This has all the hallmarks of a rough and tumble affair and luck in running may play a strong hand in the outcome. Therefore it looks to be a race to approach with caution and it may be prudent to search out a bit of value. Smart John fits the bill as an improver and he is just preferred over Tagula Bay, Irish Tycoon and Earlston. The three-year-old is one of the least exposed runners in the field and put in by far his best performance to date at Newcastle just over two weeks ago. That was only his second outing in handicap company and he looks sure to improve on that performance. The form was given a solid boost when Tiber Tiger won at Beverley on Wednesday night and it would be no surprise if he delivers on the promise today. Tagula Bay appreciated the soft ground when winning a weak race at Thirsk last month, but has a much stiffer test here. So Earlston, who meets the selection on the same terms as when finishing less than a length adrift of him at Gosforth Park, may provide the sternest opposition. However, he has struggled off his current mark and he lacks the scope of Smart John; although support for Lauro would be interesting. Irish Tycoon is best of the rest.
