        Verdict

        None of these inspire confidence but PRECISION is a course and distance winner and gets a speculative vote to put a couple of poor efforts so far this year behind him and return to form. Hawridge Flyer went close over 1m4f last time but was well beaten over today’s trip last year and Dark Pearl’s recent efforts over similar distances were both less than convincing. Against The Odds is another with something to prove over 1m6f but Vis A Vis won over the trip in France last year and debuts for new connections here.
