        Verdict

        Tall Tale is a long-standing maiden who continuously fails to deliver and is once again likely to play a supporting role here. As is Poachers Run, who does not look a natural over fences, and may also find this trip beyond her. It would also be an act of faith to expect Silent Snipe to follow up his recent course win, so the vote goes to Strong Tartan, in the hope that he can make amends for falling when still in contention last time out.
