      Verdict

      Harnour was a useful juvenile but has been struggling of late and looks likely to find at least one too good under top weight. Kepler is the least exposed and therefore open to most improvement so it would be no surprise to see Paul Cole's charge in the shake up having landed a maiden in testing conditions last term but the TEAMtalk vote goes to Vicious Prince. Richard Whitaker's charge showed his appreciation for plenty of give in the ground when an easy winner over 12f here in June (form has worked out well) and has had his excuses for subsequent defeats in better company since so should give a good account with conditions in his favour.
