      Verdict

      Now 5lb better off with Blue Tomato for just under two lengths, First Order can probably get his nose in front here, while none can be toally ruled out if near their best. First Order acts well here and with plenty of sunshine around this week the drying ground is another plus. The draw should not be hugely significant in such a small field and he can go in. Blue Tomato should be close by. He won that Musselburgh contest back in March and this is a bit easier than his two subsequent runs so he is a big danger. Obe Gold is just 1lb higher than when winning on soft at Goodwood in October so a return to form would be no shock, Paris Bell would want some juice to be at his best, while Pacific Pride has proved difficult to win with but drying ground is in his favour. Westport is slipping in the weights and is now 3lb higher than his last Wolverhampton win, so he is not ruled out over his optimum trip, but preference here is for First Order.
