      Verdict

      Keelung has shown enough to be backed with confidence here and can justify short odds, with newcomer Twofan taken to chase him home. Having shaped fairly well at Lingfield, Keelung stayed on to some effect behind King Of Dreams at Doncaster last time and has the look of a sure-fire future winner. The one little doubt is the fact that the latter is trained by Mark Johnston who will therefore have a line to the chance of Twofan who runs here in preference to a choice of engagements at Haydock and Leicester on Saturday. However, experience counts for a lot, and Keelung should collect, with none of the other four runners making any appeal at all. He will be short, but Keelong is hard to oppose.
