      Verdict

      Better Self and Jackie Love look up against it on today's terms, while it's no surprise to see the so far disappointing Ilissos dropping down to this level. Kempton winner Broughtons Day has every chance judged on his form at the start of the year and a bold bid looks likely from him, but CHARLIE SMIRKE is just preferred. Twice a winner over C&D early last season, today's drop in class and the presence of Ryan Moore could prove a winning combination and he gets the nod.
