        Verdict

        In the opener, we like the look of Witchry but watch for a market move on Tyrone Sam, Zomerlust and Harrys House. The selection has shown very good form in each of his two starts, including finishing fourth to the subsequent Coventry winner Iceman at Newbury on his debt. His form looks pretty solid and he sets the benchmark for the others to aim at. Turning to the others. Eskdale should improve for his debut effort at Ripon, while Harrys House, one of three John Quinn runners, is certainly one to be interested in if there is money for him as, although his dam was modest, there is plenty of good speed in the bloodline. From the same stable, Zomerlust is also interesting, as is Tyrone Sam, who is from a very capable yard and he cost connections 34,000 guineas. Overall, though, Witchry looks to be the one.
