      Verdict

      Headgear is applied to Fluctuate on his comeback run and the betting could provide the best clue to the chances of the Wolverhampton maiden winner. SPIFER has the more recent form with a recent third to the progressive Alfred Hutchinson looking good enough to land this prize. A line through the latter gives dual Lingfield winner Aquilonius every chance and he has to come into the reckoning but Kames Park and Noble Silk will need to dig a bit deeper to get involved in this company.
