      Verdict

      Night Cru,Transvestite and Broughtons Revival look the three to concentrate on in this competitive opener and the vote ie given to Night Curu. The selection won well lat time out when beating Oscar Snowman and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he looks the one to be on. Transvestite rates the main danger on his best form but he has become dissapointing of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Broughtons Revival is another that could go well asz he beate Bronze Star last time out but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance has to be of concern. Of the remainder Top Mark looks weighted up to his best and in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Night Curu.
