        Verdict

        Taranis, Kings Brook and Its Crucial look the three to concentrate on in this contest and the confident vote goes to Taranis. The selection won well last time out when defeating Lamp'sReturn. He is sure to have come on for the run his first in England and with improvement likely he will be hard to beat. Kings Brook rates the main danger on his latest third behind Lord Buckingham but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Its Crucial is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Serpentine Rock but he may be seen to better advantage over a longer trip. Of the remainder Zaffinello was going well when unseating in the race won by the selection last time so he is worth noting in the market. This is a tricky race to call for punters but for the winner we return to Taranis.
