        Verdict

        PURCELL made a winning return over course and distance last month. Oisin Murphy keeps the winning partnership intact and Andrew Balding's charge can go in again. Forceful Appeal should go well but has a bit to make up with the selection while Stonefield Flyer is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Kempton. Nassau Storm scored here in January and looks next best, although Talented Kid is relatively lightly-raced and faced a stiffer task behind George Guru on his comeback here in February.
