    Verdict

    Only five runners in this but there doesn't look to be much between the quintet on form. CHILLY FILLY beat Arizona John by a head at Catterick in April with Dark Dune, who possibly needs a bit further, back in mid-division. John Mackie's seven-year-old is a pound better off here but has since only managed a third at Haydock so we'll take the top weight to confirm running and land this for Brian Ellison. King Kurt needs to rediscover his best while Alsahil was well beaten at York after finishing third at Thirsk and is possibly still a couple of pounds too high.
