      Verdict

      A number of these come here with solid chances on the best of their form and the selection of Penny Pictures to get the better of Ottoman and Bushido is made as much in hope as it is in optimism. Especially when the claims of Hope Sound are factored in, as Brian Ellison's charge arrives here at the top of his game with three excellent runs behind him already this season. However, he does look weighted up to the hilt and will need to be on his mettle to continue to thrive off his current mark. Old Feathers, who has not been seen in public since finishing distressed at Bangor the best part of two years ago, is another that has a little to prove. But he is still lightly raced in this sphere and he is one to monitor in running; maybe for next time if he still retains his enthusiasm. Bushido, like the selection, has been kept ticking over with an outing on the Flat and should fit and firing to do himself justice again today. However, like Ottoman, this trip could be the absolute maximum for his stamina and he may be susceptible to one that can quicken at the end of its race. Which brings in Penny Pictures, who reached a good standard on the level and will be hard to peg back if he is allowed an easy lead.
