      Verdict

      Georgie Lad should figure in this if putting in a clear round but the race probably revolves around how well SAINT RAPH handles this faster surface. The Wincanton scorer will probably win again if coping with the ground but he's looked a real mud-lark in his races to date for Robert Walford. Buckhorn Tom also seems much better on easier going but I'm In Charge will handle conditions, though still looks a few pounds too high. Badger Wood is best watched until showing signs of a revival.
