          Verdict

          Taskmaster, Stocks 'n Shares and Spinaround are three against the field in another open affair and the tentative vote goes to Stocks 'n' Shares. The gelding from the John White yard won well last time out when defeating L'Orphelin and although he is dropping in distance he is taken to win again. Taskmaster rates the main danger he ran well, last time when fourth behind Trabolgan and is sure to be suited by this shorter trip. Spinaround would have a chance on his best form but he disappointed last time and can not be backed with any confidence. Island Fortress is another worthy of respect but she does not look to sty this trip so in a race full of imponderables we will side with Stacks 'n' Shares.
