    Verdict

    Only six go to post for this but nonetheless a competitive handicap. Tiger's Rocket is given the vote ahead on Especially on the basis of a recent win in a Wolverhampton nursery. Having suffered interference in landing that nursery, Tiger's Rocket gave the impression a step back up in trip would suit and over today's one mile trip, should take all the beating. Hadden Frost's 5lb claim is a furthur encouragement. Especially represents the powerful Mark Johnson yard and displayed an improvement in form to land a Southwell nursery most recently. While he is proven on the fibresand surface, one suspects the form of that particular race, with a number of moderate rivals behind. The market should prove the best pointer to Safebreaker's chances. Tiger's Rocket given the vote over Especially.
