        Verdict

        None of these inspire confidence but TRECASE looks the safest option. He was winning for the only time in 24 starts when scoring at Kempton in February and has finished thereabouts in a couple of subsequent starts. Heading To First went close in soft ground at Brighton last time and he may figure again but the winless Eurhythmic isn't getting any closer for his slide down the weights. Reggie Perrin had the past form to figure and Glens Wobbly showed a bit more last time.
