      Verdict

      A difficult race to assess with a couple of newcomers (Amir Zaman and Rolex Free) and an unexposed type in the potentially smart Demi Beau. On paper it looks an easy opportunity for Puntal who is a consistent sort who deserves to win a race like this. He put up one of his better performances last time out in a hot handicap and a repeat of that run at these weights should see him winning again. Caracciola is an improving sort who you should be wary of and he has shown good ability on hard ground.
