      Verdict

      Roll Along, Kontinent and Dancing Lyra catch the eye here and Roll Along is the selection. Kontinent won well on his debut and looks a progressive type. However, he is up against a top class opponent here and may have to settle for second. A winner at Musselburgh on heavy ground in March, Dancing Lyra was rated at 80 on the level. He is an interesting recruit but is best watched here. Roll Along is still unbeaten in four starts and he followed up an unbeaten bumper career by getting off the mark on his hurdling bow. Roll Along is the selection.
