      Verdict

      They All Laughed should have punters smiling here; the chief dangers look to be Phone Call and Foursquare Flyer. The selection was a real eyecatcher last time at Kempton when he came from a long way back to finish fourth behind Smokey The Bear. If he can race more prominently today then he can gain his reward. Phone Call finished third behind Blue Hills here last time, but although she travelled well in the race, she did not find much for pressure. Foursquare Flyer returns to the level after a spell over hurdles and on the pick of his FORM he would have to enter calculations here. Nimello and Key Partners are also capable of getting competitive, but we prefer the claims of They All Laughed who gets our pick.
