Verdict
War Party, Medicinal and Hopeand are all returning from a lay-off while the handicapper appears to have had the measure of Samizdat recently. Very Stylish was a little disappointing when favourite at Hereford last month but Call It On could be interesting if reproducing the form of his second to Alarazi at Leicester in the autumn. MARIA ANTONIA had a winter break and has been slow to recapture her best form but she was more like her old self at Hexham last time and could easily land this if that run has brought her to concert pitch.
