      Verdict

      UP NORTH is the only one of these with no racecourse experience but he's by Dylan Thomas out of a mare that was placed over 7f and may have more speed than his rivals. Selkirk's Island had an entry yesterday at Ayr but Dubai Shen may be improving and is worth considering. Boyhood makes his debut under Rules having shown little in one point-to-point outing but is still preferred to Desert Sensation.
