        Verdict

        It has taken a while but Joyce's Choice is in decent form and should go close here, however we will take a chance with Torrent, Whinhill House may prove best of the remainder. David Chapman's veteran appeared to be returning to somewhere near his best when second over course and distance last time. Joyce's Choice was the winner of that event and is weighted to confirm the form, however she rarely runs two races alike and has much the worse of the draw, so we believe Torrent can reverse the running. Whinhill House has been knocking on the door recently, both here and at Wolverhampton. He hasn't won for almost two years and may have to settle for place money today. Henry Tun and Knead The Dough are two others to consider in a pretty weak event, but on this occasion we will give the vote to Torrent
