          Verdict

          Triple Chocolate completed a hat-trick on Turf in the summer and has won on Polytrack so shouldn't be dismissed despite an absence since October. Boom The Groom scored at this level over track and trip early last month but has had a long winter campaign already and might just have been feeling the pinch last time. Baddilini couldn't quite get to History Book here last time and is 2lb higher while Extrasolar hasn't won on an all-weather surface in half-a-dozen attempts. UPAVON (NAP) has won four times on the surface and is just 1lb higher than his last success so he's handed the vote as he should be a decent each-way price.
