        Verdict

        Although he faces no easy task in giving weight away to all bar two of his rivals, Gift Horse has shaped with plenty of promise and gets the vote over Jay Gee's Choice and Waterside, who head the list out of the rest that hold sound chances at this level. The same has to be said of Molcon and Lifted Way though and both are in with a shout of reaching the frame for each-way players. However, Gift Horse could prove to be a step ahead of this exposed bunch of rivals could easily be capable of brushing aside his position of joint-top-weight. The son of Cadeaux Genereaux was handed a mark of 82 after winning on his second start last season - where he travelled smoothly in seeing out the stiff mile as Sandown. However, his subsequent efforts suggested that he may be better over this intermediate trip and there is surely more to come from him now that he has the benefit of a seasonal run behind him. A 4lb rise for getting within a length of the improving Etterick Water does not look too harsh in the context of this race and, with the likes of Craiova held on that performance, he does not have too much to find to go one better tonight. Jay Gee's Choice is a frustrating character that is not without the ability to take a hand in the finish if he puts his mind to it. And he could be the value in the race if Gift Horse finds trouble from his low draw.
