        Verdict

        Cavern Club ended last year with a victory at Kempton and should improve further while Fox Journey's pedigree suggests he should do better in his second season. Muir Wood improved with each run at the back-end of last year while Power Of Gold was staying on at Redcar. Mindset made all over Beverley's stiff 7f then ran very well in a novices' contest here. He'll be much better suited by today's trip and can get into contention but the vote goes to CONNEMARA COAST (NAP). A winner at Wolverhampton, he's found a mile too short in his two starts this campaign and was unlucky in-running here last month.
