        Verdict

        Buxfizz and Loch Fleet look up against it but the remainder can all be given a chance of sorts. A tentative vote goes to GLENCADAM GOLD whose recent second at Newmarket may just give him the edge over those making a comeback. The latter group includes Dominant, Samurai Sword and Chain Lightning, who all won as two-year-olds and should taste further success this season, while Club Oceanic makes most appeal of those arriving from the all-weather ahead of She Ain't A Saint, Manifestation and Carrick A Rede.
