        Verdict

        Arch Moon gained his only success to date over a mile on this track with some give in the ground. THE NU FORM WAY also enjoyed soft ground when completing a double in October so should have no problems with today's conditions and, though returning from a long break, his stable is in excellent form. Mc'Ted has only gone up 1lb for landing a Class 6 handicap at Yarmouth so is greatly respected while Natchez Trace is capable of winning again from this mark. Smart Connection's three victories have been on the all-weather and he's been a beaten favourite on his last three starts.
