        Verdict

        SUREWECAN (NAP) looks to have leading claims. He was beaten less than a length in a Class 3 contest at Newmarket on his latest start and should go close again in this lower grade. Ralphy Boy also has a shout having finished ahead of the selection here last month though he was behind runner-up Chaplin Bay at Chester last time. The latter has been raised 3lb for that effort but the veteran Rasaman is only 2lb higher than when winning here three weeks ago. Bay Mirage is another recent winner but that success came in maiden company over 6f and he’ll find this tougher.
