      Verdict

      Top Brass won a maiden at Chelmsford in October and can figure on his handicap debut while Grand Scheme won nicely over a mile at Chepstow and should stay this far. Basilicata makes a quick reappearance having finished runner-up at Ascot last week but TARAVARA has gone close in both starts so far this year and can race off the same mark as when beaten less than a length at Doncaster last month. The latter gets the vote with Without Revenge perhaps best of the rest.
