        Verdict

        CHARLIE'S STAR found the soft ground against him at Brighton last month but was only beaten a head on the all-weather at Lingfield before that and gets a token vote on that form. Hold Firm won at Beverley and went close again when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently but Young Jackie was still beaten eight lengths when runner-up in a seller last time. Lingfield winner Kristal Hart was well beaten in an amateur contest back in June and Byrd In Hand is best over a shorter trip.
