      Verdict

      Latin Lad gets the confident vote here with Bazergan and Let Us Prey rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Sharp Nephew last time out. That form looks solid and with conditions again in his favour and more improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Bazergan rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind River Proud but he lacks the scope of the selection and is taken on with this in mind. Let Us Prey is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is more exposed than most. Naomh Geileis best form is over a shorter trip while Alan Devonshire is better with more cut in the ground and with this in mind for the winner we return to the unexposed Latin Lad.
