      Verdict

      The confident selection here is Constantine, with Rajam and Lord Lamb the most likely to chase our selection home. Constantine did not get the run of the race last time at Haydock and was an unlucky second behind Albany. The selection stayed-on well for today's pilot Paul Hanagan on that occasion and a reproduction of that effort should be good enough here. Rajam is also worth consideration although was well behind Albany in a decent race at Ripon last time, but could enter the frame on a series of creditable efforts prior to that run. Lord Lamb is the only other one to catch the eye here, and this Mary Reveley charge is fairly consistent, but is unlikely to win in handicap company off his current mark of 80. So we are happy to side with Constantine who will hopefully get the luck that sadly deserted him last time.
