    Verdict

    Plenty in with chances in this trappy affair however we will side with Dudley Docker to complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Exit Smiling. The selection has won his last two in game fashion and he looks sure to run his race again despite this higher mark now back on the all-weather. He is a horse in form and with jockey Neil Callan aboard, he is fancied to win again. Exit Smiling won over course and distance around this time last year and advertised his well-being with a win at Nottingham last week. Call My Bluff and Lucky Lover are two others in with place claims at least, whilst Rowan Lodge could go well fresh as he has in the past. An open contest then can go to Dudley Docker.
