        Verdict

        Duroob has the recent form but a speculative selection about Let It Be is advised. One could not help but be taken by Duroob's victory at Nottingham and he is quickly turned out again. That said, he has struggled on a similar surface and there could be value in taking on the favourite. Keith Reveley's flat runners have been consistent and Let It Be gets the nod on a racecourse return. A workmanlike individual, she is capable of racing up with the pace and although the mare is better over slightly further, she is sure to to be at a backable price. Ego Trip has struggled against the handicapper for a while but is off a winning mark. The betting could tell its own tale. Mr Majestic made an encouraging start to the season and could be capable of building upon that Redcar effort (Melvino well held in behind). Oman Gulf is a well-bred individual and now it is Micky Hammond's turn to try and pick up where James Given and Barry Hills both failed. Fort Churchill could well things happening a little too quickly while Court Of Appeal wins his fair share of claimers but is not quite so attractive in handicap company. Let It Be is a likeable enough individual and if she is fit enough first time out, she can go well at a price.
