    Verdict

    SOMEMOTHERSDOHAVEM was only worn down close home by Calculated Risk in a similar contest at Ascot earlier this month. He's entitled to take his revenge on slightly better terms and gets the vote here as he should again beat Mcvicar, Little Dutch Girl and Lac Sacre. Calculated Risk had beaten Whipcrackaway here earlier but is 12lb higher now. Counsel is respected having returned to winning ways at Sedgefield but Leo Luna's latest victory at Bangor came over 3m and he may struggle for pace under his big weight. Ptit Zig's third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham was a cracking effort so he can't be left out of calculations but this may be too tough for Thinger Licht and Bob's World.
