        Verdict

        There are a few imponderables here and it is not a race to get too heavily involved with considering some of the fare on offer elsewhere on the card. Hans Christian, as one of the lesser-exposed types at this sort of trip, has to be considered as short list material judged on the pick of his form. His effort last time was too bad to be a true reflection of his ability and he can be given a saver option if the prices allow. Tora Bora will also go close if he copes with a mile, but his price is unlikely to be rewarding as an each way choice. So Mount Pekan may prove to be the value selection if he can build on his performance at Newcastle last month. He was always up with the pace on that occasion and relished every yard of the one-mile trip. He can take a race of this nature somewhere along the line and support for him today will be significant. Similar sentiments apply to Unfuwain filly Zaynaat, whose chances will increase substantially if there is plenty of give underfoot.
