        Verdict

        Hard to have much confidence in any of this bunch but ACE OF SPIES is a multiple course winner and races off a winning mark if producing his best. He's just preferred to Silly Billy, a C&D winner back in February and Gracie's Gift, who usually runs her race at this track. Military Green and Lady Nickandy were both well beaten on their latest visits to the course though Nafa went close over the minimum trip here last year and should go well again.
