        Verdict

        A mixed bag on offer and Joely Green is tentatively selected ahead of Dormy Two and Repulse Bay. Nick Littmoden's frustrating sort has no problems in staying two miles and is technically a couple of pounds well in if we consider his all-weather rating. Dormy Two proved that he stays two miles when he followed Gargoyle Girl home at a respectful distance last time out. Repulse Bay has fair claims on the best of his form but he is a notoriously tricky ride and has not shown too much this term. Sea Cove is interesting as he is potentially unexposed and hails from a yard that has been performing better of late with its flat runners. Haystacks is best of the rest. Joely Green gets the verdict in a trappy affair.
