        Verdict

        This is another tricky race to get to grips with and not too many of them make any serious appeal to be the subject of a serious punt. Therefore Eastern Dagger is forwarded as a cautious choice hope that he makes light of his 7lb penalty for winning a claimer at Leicester a week ago. Captain Ginger has plenty on at the weights so the in-form Etolie Solitare and Vindication can scrap it out for the minor roles. The selection makes his debut for Norma Macauley today and the fact that she has secured the services of Darryll Holland for the ride, suggests that she means business from the off with the three-year-old. He can be a little keen in his races but the drop back to seven furlongs looks to be a shrewd move to combat his penalty. All looks set for a bold bid. Captain Ginger dropped out tamely last time and, as a lightly framed individual, he looks vulnerable giving weight away today. Tuscan Sky was disappointing on his reappearance but may have just needed the run. However, he has a little to prove and is best watched. Vindication failed to live up to his early promise and is exposed as moderate, so Override, who is a previous course and distance winner, could be the best bet to steal a place close home.
