        Verdict

        A difficult handicap to solve. Colliers Quay is likely to be popular as he hails from an in-form yard. He hasn't shown too much since landing an egg-and-spoon race at Southwell and we look elsewhere. Top-weight Sea Ferry returns after a long absence and has gone well fresh in the past. He must be given a chance if he is fit and fired up. Tosawi is a previous course winner but is watched following a substantial step up in trip. Maousse Honor has been beaten in lesser grade and does not appeal. The TEAMtalk selection is Lorgnette. She has had her problems over the chase fences this term but posted some solid hurdling efforts last season and could be each-way value.
