        Verdict

        A wide open contest rounds off Proceedings and many have chances on there best form, however the confident vote goes to Sunnyside Royale. The gelding from the Mick Easterby yard was a fair third on his debut this season when third behind Crownfield. He is sure to have come on for the run and the step up in trip is sure to suit. Green 'N' Gold was a fair fouth behind Coolbythepool last time and rates the main danger. Cosmic Case is another that should go well but his best efforts of late have come with more cut in the ground. Special Branch is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Turn Of Phrase last time and he runs off the same mark here. Of the remainder Copplestone is on a handy mark and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
