        Verdict

        Front-runner Rose Tina is in very good heart at the moment and while the Towcester specialist has plenty going for her, any ease in the ground will count against her and the weather bulletins must be viewed before any view is taken about her chances. Conversely, Dark Room is one who will relish any softening of the ground. JP McManus' charge was sent off favourite for a decent Novice event at Newbury and would have finished closer to Pharaway Citizen had he not made a critical error in the race. Poly Amanshaa was a long-term fixture on the sidelines and is now back on the track at eleven years of age. He is yet to show any of his previous sparkle and to some extent the handicapper is applying a modicum of Lenin in dropping him to a mark of 103. Banjo Hill hails from a yard that is out of form at present. Emma Lavelle is no stranger to sending out the winners at Huntingdon but punters will need to take the view that his reappearance at Stratford was just "one of those things". Ulusaba is better over shorter while Quainton Hills and Strong Magic are readily opposed. In conclusion, the formbook suggests that Rose Tina and Dark Room are among the more likelier winners of this contest.
