      Verdict

      BLUE TOMATO is the pick with Epic Odyssey and Secret Dubai the alternatives. The selection did not appear totally at home at Southwell as having been settled in last place, he became embroiled in the sizeable kickback of the fibresand. On this easier surface, he should be capable of returning to something like his normal form and can repay losses accrued last week. Epic Odyssey was a maiden winner for Ger Lyons in Ireland. Now in the care of Jim Boyle, he was far from disgraced behind Matsnosuke at Great Leighs last month. Secret Dubai represents a yard that is enjoying a tremendous strike rate of late. Cheekpieces join a tongue-tie in the quest for first time glory. Brandywell Boy has to be respected as a previous course-and-distance winner. The figures suggest Firestone to be up against it whilst Elusive Ronnie has to put a disappointing run at Lingfield behind him. Blue Tomato is the pick.
