      Verdict

      Quite The Man won in good style on his debut, but he could be vulnerable here and we will take him on with IF EVER, who in turn is preferred to Chain Of Command. Richard Phillips's filly was an eyecatcher on her debut when she was staying on from off the pace to take fourth behind Cresswell Bubbles at Ffos Las back in August. She should learn from the experience and nominal improvement would give her a big chance. Quite The Man was a winner at Kelso back in April but he only won by a head that day and although he is a scopey type who should improve, he won't find life easy under a penalty. Chain Of Command is an interesting newcomer who is certainly worth noting in the market, but those with racecourse experience do set a decent benchmark here. It will be a surprise if any of the others are good enough, and we will stick with If Ever to land the prize.
