      Verdict

      A wide-open amateur contest and RODIN is a tentative choice. He's gone well the last twice, looks suited to a mile and can be marked up for his latest run when finding trouble in a close finish at Windsor when beaten under two lengths into fifth. Extrodinair, the only recent winner, has a claim if transferring his best form to turf - which has yet to happen. Afta Party is unexposed after just five starts and his best run by some way came here in May and the booking of top amateur, Simon Walker, catches the eye. First-time cheekpieces are applied too. Course and distance winner, Canal Rocks, yet to strike form for his new yard, would go close if doing so.
