        Verdict

        Comfortable Call, Sir Homo and Lord Pat are three against the field in this poor seller and the confident vote goes to Comfortable Call. The selection has been in good form of late and will like the ground and a reproduction of his latest second behind Western Bluebird would make him hard to beat. Sir Homo rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed behind Sunnyside Royal last time, however he will be better suited by this faster ground. Lord Pat is another that could go well as he is on a fair mark but is becoming hard to win with and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Littleton Valour is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Comfortable Call.
