      Verdict

      Ishisoba has had plenty of chances and doesn't make much appeal. Harboured has a speedy pedigree and is preferred to fellow newcomer Red Primo, while Taquka was placed in all four starts over 5f last year but hasn't raced since July. POOL HOUSE shares the same official rating as the latter but has the more recent form with a second at Lingfield in November. Andrew Balding's colt gets the nod with an earlier second over course and distance further boosting confidence in his chances.
