        Verdict

        Pop, Apollo Creed and Border Fox are the three that make the shortlist here with Pop the selection. Apollo Creed ran respectably in three outings to date, and it is possible that the soft ground may help him as he appears a little one paced. He should be thereabouts. Border Fox won his Musselburgh bumper in good style, but made mistakes when well beaten on his hurdling bow in a good Aintree contest. He needs to improve on that but clearly has ability. Having run well in a couple of bumpers, Pop shaped with great promise on his hurdling bow at Warwick, finishing third beaten only four lengths in what looked a decent contest. He has the stand out form in the race, and given normal improvement, Pop can ensure his supporters can afford something stronger to celebrate with.
